About the Georgia Council on Lupus Education and Awareness
The Georgia Council on Lupus Education and Awareness in Atlanta, Georgia (GCLEA) was established by the Georgia General Assembly and Governor Nathan Deal in 2014.
Our mission is to improve the lives of Georgia residents who live with lupus by raising public education and awareness, improving access to resources for patients and family members, obtaining information that will inform current and future public health efforts, and increasing appropriate diagnosis of lupus by non-rheumatologists.
The GCLEA aspires to:
- Develop
resources and programs that will improve the level of education and
awareness concerning lupus for healthcare providers and the general
public
- Develop
resources and programs for communities that lack access to
specialized lupus healthcare providers based on the
incidence and prevalence of lupus in the state of
Georgia
- Develop
programs that encourage professional development
and specialization in the diagnosis of lupus and the care,
management, and treatment of people with lupus
