Welcome!

The Arthritis Foundation, Southeast Region's Alabama offices serve all counties across the state and are actively working to reduce the unacceptable impact of arthritis on the lives of 1.2 million adults and an estimated 5,000 children in our state. In fact, 50 million adults and approximately 300,000 children nationwide have a doctor-diagnosed form of arthritis making it the nation's leading cause of disability. We look forward to serving you as we lead efforts to make the pain and limitations of this disease unacceptable.

UAB Team Highlighted for Important JA Findings

Congratulations to Dr. Tim Beukelman and colleagues, whose study findings have been highlighted in the past weeks. Their study, published online on February 13th in the publication Arthritis & Rheumatism, suggests that the increased cancer risk associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) does not appear to be linked with current treatments for juvenile arthritis. The study underscores the important need for a national incidence registry to collect data to track children with arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation is calling for more research dollars and national attention focused on reducing the unacceptable impact of juvenile arthritis, which impacts appreximately 5,000 children in Alabama and 300,000 children nationwide.
