Lupus support group to meet in Lima

LIMA — The Lupus Foundation of America’s Greater Ohio Chapter will host its monthly lupus support group from 7 to 8 p.m. April 17 at Crossroads Church of God in Lima.

The support group is an open, small-group environment that encourages discussion among lupus patients and their families, according to a press release from the foundation. It is a place where people with lupus can share their experiences and ask questions. Most discussions focus on the “how-to’s” of living with a chronic illness.
