Learned Experiences - Let the Evolution Continue!
AiArthritis Voices 360 Full Episode 59
Air Date: March 21, 2021
This week join your patient host Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO of International Foundation for
AiArthritis, as she discusses the mission and future projects of The International Foundation for
Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory
Arthritis and the
AiArthritis Voices 360 Talk Show.
The mission of AiArthritis is to elevate and center the patient voice in global conversations with all stakeholders about solving problems facing the autoimmune and autoinflammatory arthritis community. We do this by engaging in a 6-step process (as outlined in Episode 27: The Method To Our Madness) for bringing pressing issues to the table for conversations to create solutions to improve the lives of the 450 million people worldwide living with AiArthritis diseases.
Our organization is constantly evolving to meet those changing needs. As we look to a future where people will be able to interact in person more without the fear of COVID-19, we are excited to transition to a model for the show that will allow us to embrace our original vision of a “touring” talkshow. To prepare for this, we are changing the airing schedule of the show and diversifying our media platforms so that conversations building on core issues raised on the talkshow may be addressed through conversations on other platforms like social media, Youtube, webinars, and in our AiArthritis Voices online forum. We can’t wait to see YOU at the table soon for one of these chats.
