Who we are
Southern California Rheumatology Society (SCRS) was founded in 1949 by Dr. Carlos Sacasa, who served as the first President. A glowing line up of rheumatologists have led the organization since then, including Drs. Carl Pearson,George Friou, Edmund Dubois, James Klinenberg, Harold Paulus, Francisco Quismorio Jr., Swamy Venuturupalli, Robin Dore, Daniel Furst, Karen Marzan, Samy Metyas, Rhina Castillo, Anne Quismorio, and Karina Torralba.
It initially operated with the support of the Arthritis Foundation but eventually evolved to be an independent 501c3 non-profit organization.
