Advocacy

The Arthritis Foundation promotes government and private sector action to improve the lives of the 50 million Americans living with arthritis. But we need your help to get more government funding for arthritis research, to encourage early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment, and to improve access to quality health care for everyone with arthritis. Visit our advocacy page for the tools you need to become informed about the issues and to make your voice heard.

Patient Education Forums

The Arthritis Foundation offers educational forums, town hall meetings and roundtable discussions with rheumatologists, orthopedists, physical therapists and other professionals.  Topics in these forums include stress management, back pain, join replacement options and more.
