  • Second Opinion Appointments

    For families with uncontrolled disease, repeated MAS or significant organ complications, and/or lung disease, the Systemic JIA Foundation can help coordinate a Second Opinion Appointment with the Rheumatology Department at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital. Many patients have availed of this opportunity in previous years. How it works: Check the appointment option below. Tell us exactly why you need the appointment, and we will share your request with the Rheumatology department who will then reach out to you. 

  • Help Cure SJIA by participating in Research!

  • SJIA Research is absolutely essential to improving the lives of our children as we work toward an eventual cure. Additionally, Cincinnati Children's is one of the few hospitals in the world that can run SJIA specific labs like IL18, S100 & CXCL9. These labs can be shared with your primary rheumatologist at your request so they can better understand your child's disease.

    Repeat research participation is helpful, and encouraged! If you have participated in prior research at Cincinnati Children's, please do so again.

  • Tell us who is attending conference

  • Please note: Due to the overwhelming response to the conference, we have run out of room in our childcare. Childcare is now available only for SJIA patients. We regret that childcare can no longer accommodate any new sibling registrations (who register after April 28th, 2019).

  • Childcare Arrangements: Please note, our sitters are not medically trained /equipped to take care of special needs. Currently we are planning childcare for the 2-13 age group.
    If you have questions, email events@systemicjia.org.

     Please note, you will receive an email with a followup Childcare Form (at the email address you provided above). The Childcare form needs to be completed by June 1st to reserve childcare. If you have not completed that by June 1st, your childcare booking will lapse.

  • Registration Fee / Policies

  • REGISTRATION IS FREE BUT YOUR DONATIONS HELP!

    But the conference costs a lot to organize (e.g., rent space, food & childcare). Your donations help make this conference happen.
