Inmedix raises $31,470 to support kids with arthritis at Seattle Children’s Hospital
5th Annual Inmedix Charity Golf Tournament sets its all-time record.
NORMANDY PARK, WA, USA, September 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Seattle-based biotech/medtech Inmedix continued its effort to support kids with arthritis with its 5th annual Inmedix charity golf tournament at the Golf Club at Newcastle on Monday, August 30, 2021. Over the past five years, the tournament has donated nearly $70,000 for research and other pressing needs at the Pediatric Rheumatology division of the University of Washington at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
“This year, our friends and golfers really came through,” said Andrew J. Holman, MD, local rheumatologist and Inmedix CEO and Co-founder. “Inmedix has worked very hard to discover new strategies to combat the devastating consequences of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and nearly 80 other inflammatory autoimmune diseases in adults.”
“I wish we could do more for these children and their parents,” continued Dr. Holman, also Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington. “Until we can, Inmedix will support those on the front lines who conduct cutting edge research and provide exceptional clinical care for kids with arthritis.”
“On behalf of the division of pediatric rheumatology we would like to thank Dr. Holman and Inmedix for their fundraising efforts and generous donation,” said Natalie Rosenwasser MD, pediatric rheumatologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington. “These funds are specifically dedicated to pediatric rheumatology research and will go toward the advancement of knowledge and ultimately better treatment for children with rheumatic illness. We look forward to supporting the hospital’s mission with hope and care to cure these chronic diseases.”
Inmedix is bringing two important advances to medicine: bloodless, cloud-based clinical diagnostics and immuno-autonomics - the interface between immune function and stress, controlled within the brain by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Fight-or-flight stress can drive autoimmune disease to excess and contribute to treatment resistance. With its cloud based ANS Neuroscan™ diagnostic in development, Inmedix seeks to quantify ANS stress state as a factor impacting immune function, driving disease severity, and limiting superior treatment outcomes in patients with autoimmune diseases.
