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.

2020 Walk to End Lupus Now is going VIRTUAL. Registration is still live, so you can sign up to support the LFANC's fundraising efforts that support the programs and services offered to lupus thrivers in North Carolina.

The Statewide Virtual Walk to End Lupus will take place on Saturday, September 12th, 2020.

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.
