Our Programs
This website was created to provide you with the latest information about lupus. Whether you are a person with lupus, a family member, or a medical professional, this site will provide you with information on the LFA educational programs and other services.
Approximately 120,000 Texans are living with lupus. We depend greatly on the support of volunteers, physicians, and community partners that donate their time, knowledge, and resources to bring public awareness of lupus to the service area of the Lone Star Chapter.
The Lupus Foundation of America, Lone Star Chapter was founded in 1977 to provide services to lupus patients in Dallas. Since then, it has grown to reach residents of 204 counties in Texas. This represents over 80% of the geographical area of the state of Texas.
