The Arthritis Society, Prairie Region

The Arthritis Society is a national health charity, fueled by donors and volunteers, with a passionate presence in communities across Canada. Our purpose is to embrace and empower the resilient spirit of people who live with arthritis, as we tirelessly pursue a future without it.

Vision:

To live in a world where people are free from the devastating effects that arthritis has on lives.

Mission:

To invest in cutting-edge research, proactive advocacy and innovative solutions that will deliver better health outcomes for people affected by arthritis.

We benefit from the advice of subject matter experts on our National Board, our Division Advisory Boards and Medical, Scientific and Patient-centric committees along with countless committed volunteers.

What we do matters

Arthritis is Canada’s largest chronic health condition and there is no cure. The disease greatly affects the lives of over 6 million Canadians today. Without a greater spotlight, there will be significantly more people affected by arthritis in less than twenty years, rising to 1 in 4. Through the generous support of donors, sponsors and volunteers the Arthritis Society will achieve the vision to live in a world where people are free from the devastating effects that arthritis has on lives.
