ABOUT US

Viola Williams and Hank Rach 2003

Viola Williams and Kristie Fagan 2003

In 1979, a small group of people in the Pensacola area began meeting at Baptist Hospital to talk about how they were affected by lupus and lend support to each other. Within a couple of years, this group had incorporated and obtained 501(c)3, charitable status with the IRS. Another similar group was meeting at the same time in Tallahassee. In the early 90’s the two groups merged to form what is today known as the Northwest Florida Lupus Foundation. Since its inception, the Northwest Florida Lupus Foundation has focused its efforts on providing support, assistance and funding to those affected by Lupus. In 2003 the name was changed to Lupus Support Network to better reflect the areas served and the mission of the organization. We offer our services to all lupus patients from Mobile, Al., east to Tallahassee, FL and north to Brewton, AL.

We, at the Lupus office, are here to help you. We can answer questions, refer you to a physician, provide you with literature or simply listen.

We often hear how patients and others affected by the disease felt like they were alone until they found us. Though we don’t provide counseling, as lupus patients ourselves, we understand what you are experiencing and can offer guidance and advice.

Here's a list of our services to those affected by Lupus:
