About Us

The Lupus Society of Illinois was formed in 1973 and is the Midwest's leading non-profit organization dedicated to finding the causes and cures for Lupus. With the help of informed volunteers, lupus medical experts, and committed and caring supporters, we support research and conduct education programs so everyone affected by lupus can have an improved quality of life; 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; and conduct activities to increase awareness of lupus, rally public support for those who are affected by lupus, and advocate on their behalf.
