Leading the Fight Against Lupus


For more than 35 years, the New York City-based S.L.E. Lupus Foundation has helped people with lupus and their families, funded lupus research, and raised awareness of this chronic illness. Visit our website at www.LupusNY.org to learn more.

Lupus is one of America's least recognized major diseases. Almost 2 million Americans—one out of every 185—have lupus. In fact, more Americans have lupus than cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, or AIDS, making it one of this country's most prevalent medical problems.
