WENDY RODGERS, M.Ed., MPH
Director, Care & Support Services, Lupus Foundation of America
Wendy Rodgers holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Houston, Master of Education with a Specialization in Global Teaching from National University, and a Master of Public Health degree from George Washington University. Wendy serves as the Director of the Care and Support Services Department where she develops national support services; oversees the national educational program; works with the team of health education specialists and connects the local community with the Foundation’s efforts to improve the quality of life for those impacted by lupus.
In early 2000, Wendy experienced acute changes in her health that led her to the diagnosis of systemic lupus, kidney failure, and ultimately a life-threatening battle with a myriad of complications. After enduring nine years on dialysis, Wendy was fortunate to receive a kidney transplant in 2009. Her acute blend of health conditions motivated her to serve as an advocate and educator through several health organizations including the Lupus Foundation of America.
Over the years, Wendy has reached out to encourage patients and families; model hope to others who live with the daily health challenges; and advocate for better health policy and medical treatment.
