Bastion Lighting Colours Pink, Navy & Pink, Blue from March 7 - 10 for Shining Light on Autoimmune Disease

Time and date:

Autoimmune diseases impact millions internationally and have been deemed a public health crisis. These diseases are largely understudied and underfunded, taking a toll on patients, families, and the healthcare system. Despite rising incidence rates, it takes roughly 5 years and 5 different doctors for patients to receive a proper diagnosis. The Autoimmune Association is the world’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to autoimmune disease advocacy, awareness, education, and research. With over 100 diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Type 1 diabetes, and Hashimoto’s, many have been impacted by these conditions but still face stigma and lack of support, which is why it is so important to raise awareness.
