This year, the 20th Annual Lupus Summit will be going VIRTUAL! To make sure all of our thrivers are able to enjoy the summit speakers, gain valuable information on lupus, and connect with their fellow thrivers, we are excited to offer a virtual summit this year that will allow everyone to take advantage!

The summit will take place on October 24th, 2020 on YouTube, so you can watch from the comfort of your home!

At the Lupus Foundation of America, North Carolina Chapter the health and well-being of people with lupus is our highest priority. Due to the growing concern around the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and in alignment with recent recommendations laid out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health experts, we have made changes to our Walk to End Lupus Now events, in-person programming, and office operations.

Please use this page as a reference for information regarding our programming and events that have been altered due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Watch the recording of the "Tips for Telemedicine" webinar for an overview of how your medical team may "see" you without an in-person visit. With the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, telemedicine is becoming a popular way to still keep your appointments or to seek treatment for a variety of illnesses. 

The LFANC partnered with Cindy Fiske,  Patient Engagement Liaison with GSK- Us in Lupus. During the webinar, we will guide you through the process of participating in a telemedicine appointment, share tips for managing lupus, and highlight some valuable online resources.
