About The Lupus Foundation of Southern New York
After being diagnosed with Lupus in 1976, Judith L. Jones RN, founded the Lupus Foundation of Southern New York Incorporated, in 1979. Judi soon discovered that there was very little information available to those with Lupus. A kind and compassionate person who was always committed to helping others, her vision was to provide education and to aid and comfort those affected by Lupus.
We honor her legacy, commitment, and vision by continuing her selfless efforts to assist the Lupus community.
The Lupus Foundation of Southern New York is not funded by any source,
