arthritis health

People living with arthritis often must be their own best advocate. No one knows arthritis better than those who live with it every day. 

In this episode of Arthritis at Home, Cheryl Koehn and Kelly Lendvoy discuss Arthritis Consumer Experts’ recently launched national survey on arthritis self-advocacy. Learn how your participation in this community-led research will help ACE better understand what effects self-advocacy has on a person’s quality of life at home, at work and on the healthcare they receive from their healthcare team. Survey findings will help ACE develop information tools and education programming to best support people in their journey with arthritis and role as self-advocate. The survey deadline is July 24, 2021.

In this episode of Arthritis At Home, Maya Joshi and Cheryl Koehn discuss survey results specifically related to health inequities in virtual care from the “ACE National Survey on Virtual Care Services for People Living with Arthritis”.

They also discuss the overall underrepresentation of racial minorities within the arthritis patient community at large, and why this is a very important issue to address.
