Hello Ms. Koehn
Thank you for your email. I will find if we have any specific policies regarding your area of concerns. My husband suffers from arthritis which cut short his career as a letter carrier so I appreciate the need for arthritis programs.

Hello, Cheryl, and thank you for this letter. The NDP is committed to ensuring all Albertans have timely access to the treatment they need, and promoting preventative measures is something we strongly support. I personally suffer from arthritis so I understand how debilitating it can be. I greatly appreciate your organization's work in this area.
