ACE holds press conference in Saskatchewan

In September 2007, ACE spoke out on behalf of people living with ankylosing spondylitis in Saskatchewan. The government of Saskatchewan had declined to list any of the three biologic response modifiers approved by Health Canada to treat ankylosing spondylitis. Cheryl Koehn, the president of ACE, held a press conference to bring attention to the issue of discrimination against people living with ankylosing spondylitis, and all forms of arthritis in Canada.
