The Mesothelioma Resource Center--MesoRC--was founded to fill a void for mesothelioma patients who needed a comprehensive and inclusive place to find information, support, and advice.   The success of the site has prompted an expansion; MesoRC now includes resources for non-cancerous asbestos-related diseases.

The site aims to extend its sense of community and connectivity beyond mesothelioma patients to people affected by asbestosis, interstitial fibrosis, and pleural disease. These rare, debilitating diseases are often underfunded; in expanding MesoRC to address these conditions, the Law Offices of James Sokolove hope to provide an understandable and thorough resource for a population of patients that remain under-served. “The early success of MesoRC showed us that the site was making a significant difference for mesothelioma patients who literally had nowhere to turn, and we knew that victims of these other rare diseases could also benefit from an online resource center. As a firm, our mission is about finding innovative, customer-focused ways to serve our clients’ needs, and expanding MesoRC to help more people is one way we’re doing that," said Mike Skoler, CEO of LOJS.
