Arthritis Help for Hispanic Americans

Join us for a free webinar, presented by the Arthritis Foundation, to learn ways to protect your joints and yourself.

Arthritis & the Hispanic Community: Powerful Solutions for Better Care

6:00 to 7:15 p.m. ET, Tuesday, Oct. 4

Arthritis has a greater impact on Hispanic Americans than on many others, not only in terms of pain, but also in daily activities. Living with arthritis affects work, religious and social activity, family relationships, stress levels, sleep and more — and Hispanic Americans are more likely to get arthritis and less likely to receive good treatment than white Americans.


Join us for this free webinar, sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. 


You will learn:

  • About the most common types of arthritis that affect Hispanic Americans.
  • About various treatment options and how to develop a treatment plan with your doctor.
  • How to take charge of pain and maximize the use of non-drug therapies for pain.
  • How to build a health care team.
  • Tips to speak up and advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office.
