Southern California Information

LFA,California Chapter, serves as the clearing house for lupus information and activities throughout our state. Lupus Foundation of America's strategic goal is to establish an office in Southern California within the next 24-48 months.  In the meantime, our chapter is working hard to provide support by phone and email; organize and list support groups; and provide educational seminars and events while we raise the funds needed to sustain an office and permanent staffing that will require.  In the best of all worlds LFA will be able to partner with existing groups in Southern California to provide a strong network of options for people with lupus and their families.   

This page will provide quick updates on what is happening in Southern California that may be of interest to you.  If you have anything you would like to post, please forward it to us at info@lupuscalifornia.org
