Arthritis Foundation

What makes our mission powerful? The people behind it. 💚 Our Arthritis Foundation team has been busy across the country — joining local events, connecting with families and celebrating the strength of our arthritis community. Every conversation, every step, every shared story brings us closer to a future free from the challenges of arthritis. #ArthritisFoundation #CommunityImpact #ArthritisAwareness

October 12 is World Arthritis Day. 💚 At the Arthritis Foundation, we’re committed to shining a light on the often invisible impact of arthritis — a condition that affects 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands of children. Many are surprised to learn: ✔️ Arthritis is the #1 cause of disability in the U.S. ✔️ 90% say it interferes with their daily lives. ✔️ Two-thirds of adults with arthritis are under 65 — balancing careers, caregiving and chronic pain. This World Arthritis Day, we call on employers, health care leaders, policy makers and communities to take action — through awareness, accessibility, research and support. Together, we can improve lives and make arthritis visible. https://arthr.org/47iITmk #WorldArthritisDay #ArthritisAwareness #ArthritisFoundation

For millions living with arthritis, managing physical pain is only part of the journey. The emotional impact — from stress and fatigue to anxiety and depression — can be just as challenging. At the Arthritis Foundation, we believe caring for mental health is a vital part of arthritis care. Together, we can increase understanding and make sure mental and physical health are cared for hand in hand. 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay

This week, advocates took to Capitol Hill to ensure the voices of the nearly 60 million people in the U.S. living with arthritis were heard.
