Clinical Care Network - Mission

Cure JM’s Clinical Care Network is increasing access to and expanding the geographic reach of expert juvenile myositis care across the United States and beyond. The primary objective of the Cure JM Clinical Care Network is to support Cure JM’s foundational mission to find better treatments and a cure for JM. We are addressing the need for best-practice clinical care to improve overall patient outcomes.

The Clinical Care Network is represented by highly experienced JM physicians equipped with the experience, knowledge, and resources to deliver best-practice care that improves the quality of life for all affected by juvenile myositis.

Clinical Care Network - Parent & Patient Info

Our network connects you with highly experienced JM specialists who understand the unique complexities of this disease.  They offer experienced care and personalized treatment plans to help your family navigate your diagnosis.

Benefits of Our Network:

  • Experienced Care: Connect with doctors who have the knowledge, experience, and resources to create personalized treatment plans for your child.

Finding Your JM Doctor:

  1. Visit Our Network Directory: We’ve made it easy to find a JM specialist near you. Explore our online directory below.
  2. Schedule an Appointment: Contact the doctor’s office directly to schedule an appointment.  (If you cannot book with the doctor you want to see, we recommend that you book any available appointment. Then call the rheumatology nurse to advise on next steps. Oftentimes the nurse can help pull in appointments or make sure you see the doctor you want to see).
  3. We’re Here to Help: If you have any questions or need assistance navigating the process, contact Cure JM at info@curejm.org.

Members of Cure JM’s Clinical Care Network are also eligible for grant funding to advance clinical care and research.
