Lupus support group formed by local nurses helps patients
The Lupus Foundation of America aided Elvira Francazio and Eleanor Pappas who started a support group in 1989 after Francazio's sister Mary Fortuna was diagnosed in 1976. Nurses Francazio and Pappas organized programs, education, and patient outreach, noting lupus diagnosis requires full medical history review and varied tests.
