Our work is different because, as people living with these diseases, we can quickly identify the most pressing community issues and easily collaborate with our peers to develop patient-infused solutions. 

Since we are affected by these diseases too, we are respected organization leaders, teachers, mentors, and trusted friends to those we serve. Every day we are side-by-side with our community, participating in conversations, community activities, and disease-related groups. As a result, we can immediately identify the most pressing community-reported issues and work towards developing unique, patient-inspired solutions.

Addressing misunderstandings, accelerating diagnosis, improving disease management, and advancing global awareness through patient-led awareness days and educational materials.

Impacting policy and legislation through creative approaches, collaborative support, and research advocacy (which we define as using data to influence or improve legislative positions).

Influencing patient-preferred outcomes and patient-included research projects through collaboration, peer-led research debriefs, and data that can expedite diagnosis, improve disease management, and increase access to individualized therapies.

Our organization strongly believes in teaming with other organizations in order to advocate to combat issues that affect the lives of those living with diseases with AiArthritis as a major component. Together we can have more impact.
