Pacific Northwest Chapter

Washington

Welcome!

The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control, and cure of arthritis related diseases.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation! We are dedicated to helping the more than 2 million people in Washington, Oregon and Alaska who live with arthritis or a related disease. We do this through research, advocacy, public and professional education, and programs and services for people with arthritis.

In addition to our Chapter office in Seattle, we have three branch offices to help meet the needs of those we serve. Our North Puget Sound branch in Bellingham, WA serves those in Whatcom County, Skagit County and Island County. Our Portland, Oregon branch serves all of Oregon and Clark County in Washington. Our newest addition is our Alaska branch. For more information on our branches click on the links below.

Gift Giving Opportunities

The Arthritis Foundation's Hope Through Heroes^SM is a memorial and tribute site dedicated to people who live with and have lived with arthritis or chronic joint symptoms. This is a place where you can honor or commemorate the life of a friend or loved one by sharing their inspirational stories of hope.

There are many different ways to support the work of the Arthritis Foundation...gifts of cash, real estate, securities, and personal property. You can also help by contributing a planned gift. Bequests (gifts made via wills) are one of the Foundation's most vital sources of income. Memorial and/or honor gifts in the name of friends and relatives are a thoughtful way to remember someone special.
