Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all people affected by Lupus and to promote efforts for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure of Lupus.

The Lupus Foundation of Colorado, Inc. (LFC) was established in 1972 for the purpose of providing support, education and training to everyone that is affected by the disease of Lupus. Our programs and services are designed to assist people with Lupus and their family and friends in dealing with the frustrations that may be encountered daily, living with a challenging and chronic illness. When a person inquires about Lupus, we respond immediately, realizing our job is to address the concerns, fears, and lack of knowledge about Lupus. We also strive to bring community awareness about the disease and the programs the Lupus Foundation of Colorado offers. Both awareness and education can be the key to saving lives.

Our Board of Directors are involved with various professions in the community and most have a direct relationship with Lupus. Their hands-on work to benefit the foundation is endless. Our Health Advisory Board is made up of physicians with different specialties who treat people with Lupus. They assist the Lupus Foundation of Colorado by writing articles, presenting information at educational seminars, answering specific questions a member may have and advising the foundation on how we can best inform people living with Lupus, the general public, and health professionals about this disease.

Our staff consists of a Chief Executive Officer, Director of Development, Director of Community Programs, Data Base Manager, and Office Manager as well as valued volunteers who all help make a difference in the lives of people living with Lupus.

Skip Schlenk, CEO
Debbie Lynch, Director, Development and Administration
