About the Arthritis Foundation:

The Arthritis Foundation is the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. 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.

The New York Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation was created to improve the quality of life for people with arthritis throughout the five boroughs and Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, Dutchess, Ulster, and Putnam counties.
