Welcome!
The Eastern Oklahoma Chapter was formed in 1949; it was charrtered in 1951 by the national Arthritis Foundation and became a member of the Tulsa Area United Way.
One in three Oklahoma adults has doctor-diagnosed arthritis or a related disease in addition to 3500 Oklahoma children affected by juvenile arthritis. Obviously the need is great for programs, services and research!
In the News
Dawn Duca, President of the Arthritis Foundation of Eastern Oklahoma appeared on Fox 23 Daybreak on Monday, March 23 at 8am. Dawn was interviewed by Ron Terrell who did a lot to promote the May 3 Arthritis Walk and the Arthritis Foundation's "Let's Move Together" program. Fox 23 has an ongoing effort called "Move It"... so, "Let's Move Together" fits right in with their ongoing theme to exercise. In addition, they sequeud into a segment on healthy cooking with a local chef.
