About the Lupus & You Empowerment Conference
The Lupus Foundation of America’s Lupus & You: Richmond Empowerment Conference is an in-person event that celebrates, inspires, supports, and uplifts lupus warriors, care partners, family, and friends. The event is designed to empower attendees through expert-led sessions that will help them better navigate a life with lupus and make meaningful connections with other attendees that will last far beyond the day’s event.
We hope to see you on May 9th, as we gather in Richmond for amazing educational presentations from local rheumatologists, subject matter experts, and amazing local lupus warriors and caregivers.
We can't wait to bring this community together during Lupus Awareness Month.
Plan ahead for a easy morning!
