Take Action
Share Your Story to Take Action
Sharing your arthritis story is crucial to breaking down barriers to care for patients across the country. Your unique story puts a human face on a complex disease and helps legislators understand the need to address barriers to care: high costs of treatment, difficulty accessing medications, scarcity of specialists and coinsurance that limits access to treatment. There are many opportunities for sharing your story – from writing a blog post to sharing your story on Capitol Hill - you will be a part of increasing the visibility of arthritis among policymakers. If you are experiencing a barrier to care, we want to hear from you.

As an Arthritis Advocate, you’ll feel good about taking action to make health care more accessible. Help shift the policy and public perception that affects those living with arthritis.
