MADISON, Wis. – UW Health is making history in the state this month opening the only clinic focused solely on lupus patients and addressing their needs. The disease primarily affects women ages 14 to 44, according to the natural resource center on lupus.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, joints and multiple organs. Jordana Lenon, knows the impacts of the disease firsthand.

“The disease affects your whole body. This is why I think the lupus clinic is such a good idea. The disease needs a lot more visibility. There are people out there that probably have all these symptoms and have no idea they are part of lupus,” Lenon said.
