Description: During our 2012 workshop series, Removing The Mask of Lupus, we will focus on connecting with the community to address health disparities among African Americans in our area who are disproportionately affected by lupus. In an effort to raise awareness among the African American community, the workshop series will include general lupus information and topics that are most relevant to the African American community. The series will feature quarterly workshops entitled: Understanding Lupus, Getting The Help You Need, Lupus & the Skin, and Lupus & the Kidneys. While this series focuses on the African American community, it is open to anyone with an interest in the presented topics.
This educational program is designed for newly diagnosed patients, family, caretakers, and anyone wanting to learn more about lupus. Come learn the facts including the signs, symptoms, diagnostic process, and treatments of lupus and hear the personal stories of those that are living with lupus.
