Staff and volunteers operate the office under the direction and supervision of the Chapter. They respond to phone, mail and walk-in inquirers and provide information and materials on Lupus. Calls are handled by office staff during business hours. Callers after business hours may leave a message, with response calls handled within 24 hours.
All callers also receive two complimentary issues of the Chapter newsletter.
Chapter newsletter is mailed bi-monthly. It contains articles on Lupus and related areas of interest from professional and lay sources. Highlights of Chapter programs, activities and other resource information are featured as well. A listing of books, brochures, audio and video tapes, and promotional items available for purchase is also included. The Texas Gulf Coast Chapter is the parent chapter for the El Paso Branch.
