The Lupus Foundation of America, Florida Chapter is part of a national force devoted to solving the cruel mystery of lupus while providing caring support to those who suffer from its brutal impact in the state of Florida. With the help of informed volunteers, lupus medical experts, and committed and caring supporters, we: 1. Support research and conduct education programs so everyone affected by lupus can have an improved quality of life. 2. Provide information to ensure people with lupus and their families get answers and health professionals know about new means to diagnose and manage the disease. 3. Conduct activities to increase awareness of lupus, rally public support for those who are affected by lupus and advocate on their behalf. The chapter has made the decision to close and staff will become part of the Lupus Foundation of America national organization in an effort to combine resources, reduce costs and expand program and services to best serve the people of Florida impacted by lupus.
