Sturge Weber Foundation Now at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego

Ten hospitals around the country are designiated SWF Center of Excellence

For Immediate Release

MT FREEDOM, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 29, 2011 --- The Sturge Weber Foundation (SWF) announces that Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego has been selected as the newest national SWF Center of Excellence.

Rady Children's joins nine other hospitals around the country where families can receive comprehensive care for Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) and other related port wine birthmark (PWB) conditions by knowledgeable specialists.

Each hospital has a team experienced in diagnosing and treating children with these conditions in one convenient location, sparing families the often challenging search for physicians in different specialties and at different institutions.

Since its founding in 1987, the SWF has provided information, education and friendly support to over 4500 adults and families of children with Sturge-Weber syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by a facial port wine birthmark and often seizures and glaucoma.

In 1992, the SWF expanded the outreach to include Klippel-Trenaunay (KT), a vascular disorder involving a port wine birthmark on the body or a limb.

The SWF also has initiated and supported comprehensive clinical and basic research into the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

The organization continues to collaborate, translate the research, and encourage all expectations to improve patient quality of life.
