Description
People with arthritis face unique barriers to care. But through our effective and committed advocacy network, the Arthritis Foundation is working to address key issues on both the state and federal levels with lawmakers, insurers and regulators, helping ease people’s burdens so they can reach their goals.
We offer trusted information, powerful health tracking tools and ways to connect with others. The Foundation works with health care providers and other partners to strengthen our educational and interactive offerings.
The Foundation’s new scientific strategy will lead to a faster cure by strengthening the research pipeline and engaging creative minds.
In the United States, an estimated 300,000 children have JA or other rheumatic conditions. We’re boldly leading the JA fight, ensuring easy access to life-changing resources, community and care.
We help individuals and families with arthritis form meaningful connections and find ways to give back - getting the support they need while supporting others.
