Welcome to the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter!

The Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter serves over 20 counties, making the public knowledgeable about arthritis and the importance of appropriate treatment and by helping people take personal control of their arthritis through self-help classes, warm water and land exercise programs and support and education groups.
