MISSION - WHAT WE DO

We exist to conquer arthritis. We are boldly pursuing a cure for America’s #1 cause of disability while championing the fight to conquer arthritis with life-changing science, resources, advocacy, and community connections.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We are the EXPERT in driving BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES for people with arthritis, and for the arthritis community, through connection, empowerment, education, and insights. We are the unduplicated LEADER in FIGHTING FOR PATIENTS’ NEEDS AND RIGHTS and for BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS in health care. We are leading and funding a BOLD SCIENTIFIC AGENDA moving us closer to a cure. From enhancing quality of life to complete eradication, THIS IS OUR FIGHT TO WIN.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

We consistently collaborate with national and local partners, healthcare providers, volunteers, and arthritis patients to deliver tools, resources, and information that impacts the lives of millions. Our principal activities include: • ACCESS & ADVOCACY – Our committed advocacy network of 149,000+ community stakeholders are addressing key issues on both the state and federal levels to reduce barriers to care for people with arthritis. We have volunteer-led Local Leadership Boards in our markets that help build relationships and identify community resources for arthritis patients. • SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY – Science is the key to finding better treatments and a cure for Americans with arthritis. We continue to lead cutting-edge scientific investigation to discover more about arthritis and to keep it from developing in the first place. • HELP AND SUPPORT – We work closely with stakeholders to strengthen our educational and interactive offerings. Our Live Yes! Arthritis Network provides patients with in-person support groups, online community forums, and toolkits as well as support for healthcare providers. We are supported by thousands of volunteers who assist with events such as Walk to Cure Arthritis, JA Camp, statehouse legislative days and building support groups. • JUVENILE ARTHRITIS (JA) – We are leading the JA fight, ensuring easy access to life-changing resources, community, and care. Thousands of children living with JA attend our JA Camp Programs, receive our Power Pack for newly diagnosed children and/or attend our annual JA Conferences with their families.
