- Advocates for increased public and private sector support for research on lupus
- Translates research findings into medically sound information and programs for people with lupus, their families, physicians, and other health professionals
- Heightens public awareness of the impact of lupus
- Supports individuals with lupus, their families and caregivers
OUR STORY
The Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter is the former Southeastern PA Chapter. Our new Chapter name reflects our expanded service territory: Southern Jersey, the state of Delaware, and additional counties in Pennsylvania.
The Southeastern PA Chapter was formed in 2000 with the merger of the Delaware Valley and Philadelphia Chapters.
Currently the only chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America in Pennsylvania, we provide direct services in the southeastern part of the state including Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Lancaster, Lebanon, Montgomery, Northampton, and Philadelphia counties as well as seven southern New Jersey counties, including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem, and the state of Delaware.
