The Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, Inc. was founded in 1978 and is a national non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life for those impacted by lupus and allied diseases and other conditions of unmet need by fostering collaboration among stakeholders and wielding the patient voice as a catalyst to advance innovative advocacy, education, awareness and biomedical research program initiatives that will identify causes, and discover better diagnostics, superior treatments, and cures. As a passion-driven, patient-focused charity led by individuals with lupus and their loved ones, we strive to promote patient-centered care, patient-engaged research, and empowerment programs to ensure that the patient perspective is included and recognized as an equal stakeholder in the healthcare, regulatory and public policy arenas and across the research continuum.
