The goal of the Rush Lupus Clinic is to provide excellent, compassionate, comprehensive, expert clinical care and to facilitate the best possible quality of life for Lupus patients. Our approach is to diagnose early, perform timely screening to detect early organ involvement, and encourage evidence based, state of the art treatments.

We believe that medical care and quality of life can be improved through patient education and active participation in one's own treatment. The clinic offers coordinated care with primary care physicians and experts in various departments and specialties.

Patient care services are provided by physicians at the Rush Lupus Clinic.
