In this special episode of The Health Advocates, we take a closer look at Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), a condition that affects tens of thousands of older adults each year in the U.S. but is often misunderstood. Host Steven Newmark is joined by GHLF’s Angela Degrassi, patient advocate Eileen Salsman, and two leading experts — Dr. Leonard Calabrese and Dr. Jeffrey Curtis — to unpack what PMR is, how it impacts daily life, and why a patient-centered approach to research and care is so important. Together, they explore symptoms, diagnosis, steroid treatment challenges, and emerging insights from new research and lived experience.

Special note: We invite you to a live webinar on Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) that will explore critical gaps in diagnosis and disease monitoring.

Date: Thursday, September 18th
Time: 6:30 PM Eastern
