H.J.S Lupus Foundation

 

 

The Henrietta Jerry Smith (HJS) Lupus Foundation is dedicated to driving research that advances the science and medical treatment of Lupus. We help lead groundbreaking research initiatives, fund innovative studies, and increase the public awareness of lupus through the power of education, prevention and early treatments.

 

We help educate and increase awareness of the lupus disease by hosting quarterly events around key U.S cities to educate people suffering from lupus and those who are likely to get lupus in the future. We perform successful market analysis to get community performers, leaders, and activists involved in the fight for lupus. We host events in a friendly, fun and relaxed environment, and provide education and resources to people suffering from lupus within the community. We gather resources to help fund people suffering from lupus with their healthcare costs, translating research findings into useful programs, information, and tools to equip healthcare professionals with the latest knowledge on diagnosing, treating, and caring for these individuals. We also help conduct outreach efforts to increase public understanding of lupus, and share stories of those affected with Lupus through our  Lupus Awareness program.

 

Our events wish to inspire, equip, and connect people within the region by educating people about the effects of lupus, its symptoms, its treatment and how to diagnose and fight the disease it before its too late. 

 

We want to increase the awareness of lupus in the community and help minority women and children understand the dangers of lupus and how it affects the body. Our events will help people learn about lupus and equip them with useful information about its symptoms, treatments and causes to prevent minorities women and children from contracting the disease. The event will help people think about the big impact that lupus have in our community and how it damages and destroy the lives of our women and children. The event will be inclusive across culture groups because many minority groups are affected by lupus. We hope to bring many minority groups together and help prevent outbreaks of lupus throughout the community.
