Mission: To improve the lives of those affected by arthritis through advocacy, education, research, and support services while working toward a cure for arthritis.
The Arthritis Foundation is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases. Through advocacy, education, research, and community programs, the foundation supports individuals living with arthritis, helping them manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent further joint damage. The foundation provides resources for people of all ages, from children with juvenile arthritis to older adults, and funds critical research to find a cure for arthritis. It works to raise awareness and promote better care and treatment options for arthritis patients nationwide.
We provide life-changing resources and invest in scientific discoveries and research. We advance research, advocacy, and disease management support. We advocate nationally and locally for arthritis patients and access to care. We champion juvenile arthritis and families by providing resources and programs such as JA Summit, JA Day, and JA Camps. And we create and promote community connections, creating a network of arthritis patients, caregivers, clinicians, volunteers, and friends devoted to our mission.
