“Advocates for Arthritis” was created to engage ACR/ARHP members and patient advocates in political advocacy and increase awareness of rheumatology issues on Capitol Hill. Participants meet with members of Congress and staff to discuss current legislative issues that affect the rheumatology community as a whole. “Advocates for Arthritis” is an opportunity for ACR/ARHP members and patient advocates to establish valuable relationships with both legislators and staff. Additionally, it is a beneficial networking opportunity for members to discuss issues affecting their practice and patients.
