“We are all indebted to Dr. Hess’ contributions that have helped shape our understanding of lupus, which includes the connection between the environment and lupus. Dr. Hess has led by example, and by doing so has shown that one person can make a difference. We are grateful for Dr. Hess’ years of research and her commitment to patient care.

“Dr. Hess was not able to make it to ACR this year. Her imprint on the field and lifetime achievements, along with the countless people whose lives have been impacted by her work and her mentoring, prompted the LFA to establish this award in her honor 10 years ago.
