Welcome!
The Northern and Southern New England Chapter serves Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont and Upstate NY - Clinton, Essex & Franklin Counties.
We are working to better the lives of over 1.5 million people in our Chapter area who have arthritis.
The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control, and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
Take the Chronic Illness Survey
Have you always wished that you could tell your health care story to the government? Here's your chance.
Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness, Inc. and the University of Michigan Center for Managing Chronic Disease have been awarded a grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the obstacles facing the chronically ill, interventions that do and do not work to surmount those obstacles, and ways in which the work done by the NIH, including research and clinical trials, may be helpful to patients with chronic illnesses. With the help of twelve patients and caregivers, we have drafted a survey which is available online at http://chronicdisease.survey.sgizmo.com.
If you would like to take the survey, please do so. If, for any reason, you are unable to take the survey online, or you would prefer to be interviewed by telephone, please contact Jennifer Jaff or her assistant Celeste at (860) 674-1370 or patient_advocate@sbcglobal.net. She will provide more details about the study and arrange for an interviewer to call you to schedule the telephone interview at a time convenient to you.
Thank-You!
Lets Move Together
Let’s Move Together is a nationwide movement led by the Arthritis Foundation that encourages people to move to prevent or treat arthritis. You can join the movement by committing to walk in your local 2009 Arthritis Walk. But don’t stop there…move daily for better health.
The vision of the Arthritis Foundation is a world free of arthritis pain. Let’s Move Together to reduce the pain of:
- 27 million people with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis.
- 1.3 million people with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that can lead to chronic pain, loss of function and deformity.
- 300,000 children (or one in 250) with juvenile arthritis, which affects children between the ages of infancy and 17.
Start moving today: visit www.letsmovetogether.org.
