Joint Efforts | Report Card and Medications Guide Edition

Last year, the arthritis community—as the Arthritis Alliance of Canada (AAC)—brought to this country’s attention the current burden of arthritis and described what would be in store for Canada if drastic action is not taken soon. During the past year, the arthritis community came together to work out solutions that would best address the concerns raised.

Yesterday, in honour of September being Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada, the AAC announced the publication of this collaboration, a report called Joint Action on Arthritis: A Framework to Improve Arthritis Prevention and Care in Canada.
