A New Chapter in Lupus Advocacy: Lupus Colorado Partners with Chronically Informed

At Lupus Colorado, our mission has always been clear: to improve the quality of life for people affected by lupus through advocacy, education, support, and connection. Today, we’re excited to share a meaningful new step in that mission—a partnership with Chronically Informed, a national platform dedicated to supporting people living with chronic illness.

If you haven’t heard of Chronically Informed, here’s what you should know: they are a fast-growing, patient-centered organization focused on providing trusted information, inclusive community spaces, and empowering advocacy tools for individuals navigating chronic conditions. From educational content and lived-experience storytelling to policy updates and wellness strategies, Chronically Informed is all about helping people with chronic illness feel seen, supported, and equipped to advocate for better care.

Our connection with Chronically Informed isn’t new—Lupus Colorado CEO Kristy Kibler has proudly served on their Advisory Board, ensuring the unique experiences of lupus patients are included in national conversations. This official partnership is the natural next step, rooted in shared values and a collective goal: to create real, lasting change for those living with chronic illness.

What This Partnership Means for Lupus Patients

This collaboration opens the door to expanded opportunities for our lupus community—bringing more resources, stronger networks, and a louder voice in healthcare policy. Together, we aim to:

• Enhance access to reliable, relatable lupus resources: Tools, articles, and support designed with patient experience in mind, to make navigating lupus just a bit easier.
• Strengthen community connections across chronic illness groups: Because we are stronger when we stand together, especially when our stories and challenges intersect.
• Elevate lupus advocacy at both the state and national level: With combined reach and experience, we’ll work to drive real reform in how chronic illness—and lupus specifically—is treated and understood.

Building a Stronger Future, Together

This isn’t just a collaboration on paper—it’s a promise to our community. It’s about standing with patients who are too often left behind by the healthcare system, and using our combined platforms to push for the visibility, dignity, and support every person living with lupus deserves.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a long-time lupus warrior, or a caregiver searching for support, this partnership will help ensure you have better access to tools, education, and advocacy efforts that reflect your lived reality.

Stay tuned for more details on joint projects, virtual events, and ways to get involved. We believe this partnership will be a game-changer—and we’re so grateful to have you with us as we move forward.
