Erratum

In the November report, “2018 ACR Awards of Distinction,” a reporting error was made in the section about Jonathan Kay, MD, professor of medicine, the Timothy S. and Elaine L. Peterson Chair in Rheumatology, and director of clinical research for the Division of Rheumatology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. Dr. Kay has researched gadolinium-induced systemic fibrosis (formerly known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis), β2-microglobulin amyloidosis and other rheumatologic problems of patients with chronic kidney disease for the past three decades—not three years as stated. We regret the error.

    I RheumPAC, Do You?

    For many years, the ACR board of directors and Government Affairs Committee have done exemplary work in keeping members abreast of legislative regulatory issues that affect all aspects of rheumatology, including patient and physician/healthcare professional issues, education, and research. Through advocacy, the ACR advances rheumatology and fosters excellence in the care of people with, or at risk for, arthritis and rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. One might say that advocacy is a cornerstone of this organization.
