Advocacy Summit Highlights Online

Can’t make it to the Advocacy Summit this year. The Virtual Summit is just one way to participate and make your voice count. The Arthritis Foundation is offering yet another way to participate. The session, Arthritis Research – Investing In A Cure, will be taped at the Summit and will be available on our website, www.arthritis.org, the following day for your viewing. The session will be moderated by Dr. John Klippel, CEO and President of the Arthritis Foundation and three experts, Dr. Joel Block, Dr. John Cush, and Dr. Laura Schanberg will discuss the latest promising research findings in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile arthritis. Hear what the panelists had to say while viewing their presentations online. It's the next best thing to being there, so join us!
