We are looking forward to another year of connecting with you - soon we'll see you in person.
Don't get me wrong, we continue to make the most of our virtual time together. Some of our support groups plan to have a virtual component to their meetings permanently. Like LaShon's RUSH/LEARN Support Group and Mari's Lupus Spoons Support Group! (Mari's group shared pictures from a virtual party for their December meeting - the photos are below.)
Another silver lining, we have more educational events archived in full on our website, like the recent Rush Lupus Clinic & LSI Patient Education event - watch the entire program by clicking on the images below.
Getting to Know COVID 19 from a Socially Safe Distance Presented by Dr. Sobia Hassan
Osteoporosis & Lupus Dr. Sonali Khandelwal
Healthy Eating Including Supplements and Lupus Presented by Dr. Shilpa Arora
RUSH Lupus Clinic Panel Discussion Featuring Dr. Meenakshi Jolly, Dr. Winston Sequeira and Dr. Ailda Nika
And perhaps the greatest silver lining - the reminder that getting together in person at support groups, educational events and Illinois Lupus Walks - is a privilege, like the collage of activities below.
Until we meet again, stay safe, keep in touch and always remember,
