Welcome to the New York City-area Chapter!

Thank you for visiting the New York City-area Chapter of the FSHD Society which serves all the areas in-and-around New York, including New Jersey. We are here to build a local community of patients, family and friends, and help them connect and advocate for themselves and each other. Our hope for the future is to find a cure – Until then, we hope to bring a greater awareness to the community, and to help improve the quality of life of all those affected.

DAVID RUBIN

Chapter Director

I am David Rubin.  I am excited to re-ignite and lead the NY Chapter of FSHD Society.

I was diagnosed with FSHD 16 years ago at the age of 49 and have experienced slow but consistent muscle loss.

I am recently retired after spending 40 years in business advisory leadership roles.  Today I spend my time as a board member of FSHD Society, pursing a variety of entrepreneurial opportunities and being a grandfather.
