Kids Get Arthritis Too...
For the past several years, the Alabama area has been committed to the goal of bringing a pediatric rheumatology division to our state. We are proud to say that as of Fall 2009, there are now three pediatric rheumatologists at UAB Children's Hosiptal seeing patients! But we are not done! There are still too many children not being treated by a specialist, and our goal is to reach as many as possible through the mission of the Arthritis Foundation.
See where it all began by watching our Kids Get Arthritis Too video below and join us as we press on towards reach every child with arthritis in the Alabama area
