2010 Annual Report
2010 was a transformative year for the Arthritis Foundation, thanks to new initiatives to improve our power to communicate, advocate and conduct research to fight the devastating effects of arthritis. It was the year we crafted a new strategic plan, which promises to transform how society perceives and responds to arthritis, as well as reduce physical activity limitations by 20 percent over the next 20 years. We are prepared to achieve this goal through the many contributions of committed doctors, scientists, advocates, donors and other supporters.
As you read this year's report, we hope you will notice the phrase "arthritis is unacceptable" in several places. Not only does 13-year-old Zach Jamison say it, but the facts and figures surrounding health disparities among minorities also speak loud and clear. Because the fallacy that arthritis is "only an inconvenience" is so widespread, asertively conveying that "arthritis is unacceptable" rises to the top of our strategic plan.
Arthritis is serious. It is debilitating. It is painful. That's why the Arthritis Foundation exists.
