Southern California’s Rheumatology Society

Advancing Care. Connecting Experts. Shaping the Future.

The Southern California Rheumatology Society unites physicians, researchers, and allied health professionals to elevate the standard of rheumatologic care across the region.


Who We Are

Founded in 1949 by Dr. Carlos Sacasa, the Southern California Rheumatology Society has grown from a small group of dedicated physicians into the region’s leading professional organization for rheumatology.

Originally supported by the Arthritis Foundation, SCRS evolved into an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit, driven by the mission to advance rheumatologic care through education, advocacy, and professional connection.

Our members include board-certified rheumatologists, fellows, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals across Southern California.
