New York is part of the Arthritis Foundation’s Northeast Region. The four New York State offices of the Arthritis Foundation are working to improve the lives of the one in five New Yorkers across our state who struggle every day with this serious health epidemic. To help reduce the unacceptable pain, disability and other burdens of arthritis and related diseases, we offer educational information, fund raising events, research grants, advocacy activities and other vital programs and services amongst our local and regional offices.
