Arthritis Foundation launches 'Living Your Yes With RA' initiative
The initiative was conceived to help empower people living with rheumatoid arthritis.
"The Arthritis Foundation is committed to providing access to information and optimum care to the rheumatoid arthritis community," Arthritis Foundation Senior Vice President of Consumer Health and Impact Cindy McDaniel said. "We understand the difficulties RA brings, including joint pain, swelling, stiffness and fatigue, and want to help patients to start saying 'Yes' despite the challenges they face living with this disease. The Arthritis Foundation is focused on providing patients with the tools they need to set and track treatment goals, communicate more effectively with their health care providers about their goals and live a full life."
"We are proud to support the Arthritis Foundation in this exciting new program," Lilly Director of global Advocacy and Professional Relations John Richards said. "We support initiatives like 'Living Your Yes With RA' as they provide important education for patients and health care providers and the need to consider both clinical and life goals as indicators of treatment success."
