As part of Hospital for Special Surgery’s 150th anniversary celebration, the Division of Rheumatology honored the thousands of lupus patients, past and present, who have inspired each member of the healthcare team. “Honoring Lupus Heroes,” celebrated patients’ wisdom, generosity and invaluable contributions to lupus research and care at a hospital event on September 24. Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is located in Manhattan and has a Physician Office in Fresh Meadows. “Our patients are the unsung heroes who have helped transform lupus care,” said Dr. Jane E. Salmon, director of the Lupus and Antiphospholipid Syndrome Center of Excellence at Special Surgery. “They donate their blood for research, take investigational drugs in clinical trials, provide personal insights to improve how we care for them and for others. They sacrifice time, energy, personal resources and their own privacy to advance science and clinical care.” An autoimmune disease that can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, heart and other organs, lupus affects 600,000 people in the United States. Hospital for Special Surgery is internationally known for lupus research and treats one of the world’s largest populations of lupus patients. “Advances in lupus treatment have transformed it from a fatal disease to a chronic illness, enabling many people to lead normal lives,” said rheumatologist Dr. Michael Lockshin. At the event, HSS physician-in-chief Dr. Peggy Crow unveiled a plaque honoring the heroic lupus pioneers and all of the patients who continue to help advance the field. “Our ‘Lupus Heroes’ are extraordinary people whose contributions have helped improve the lives of thousands of individuals with the disease,” said Dr. Crow. A Lupus Chat will take place on the Hospital for Special Surgery Facebook page (Facebook.com/hspecialsurgery) on November 6 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
