The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
Description:
The Arthritis Foundation is the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. Founded in 1948, with headquarters in Atlanta, the Arthritis Foundation has multiple service points located throughout the country. The Arthritis Foundation is the largest private, not-for-profit contributor to arthritis research in the world, funding more than $380 million in research grants since 1948. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the foundation helps people take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legislation; and conducting evidence-based programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis.
History:
The Arthritis Foundation works in Research; Public Health; and Public Policy. The Arthritis Foundation partners with other organizations in the fight against arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention developed the National Arthritis Action Plan (NAAP) to lead the attack on the public health challenges of arthritis.
