Patients front and centre at Arthritis Alliance of Canada’s First Annual Research Conference and Symposium

Hundreds of patients and experts meet to shape future of arthritis research in Canada

Hundreds of patients and experts will gather in Ottawa this week at the Arthritis Alliance of Canada’s inaugural Conference and Research Symposium to discuss the latest advances and the future of arthritis research in Canada. The three-day event features participation from across the country, including medical and allied health professionals, patient advocates, government representatives and non-profit health organizations.
