Description
  • With nearly 300 chapters, branches and support groups in 32 states, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the nation's leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes and cure for lupus. Our mission is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, support individuals and families affected by the disease, increase awareness of lupus among health professionals and the public, and find the causes and cure. Research, education, and patient services are at the heart of LFA's programs.

    The LFA energetically pursues its mission through the following five program objectives:
    • Provides direct financial support to researchers through LFA's Five-Year Research Support Program.
    • Advocates increased public and private sector support for biomedical research on lupus.
    • Translates research findings into medically-sound information and programs for physicians and other healthcare professionals.
    • Heightens public awareness of the causes and consequences of lupus.
    • Supports individuals with lupus, their families and caregivers.
