The goal of the Oregon Health Authority's Arthritis Program is to reduce the impact of arthritis in Oregon through a public health approach, working in collaboration with partners in the public and private sectors.
The Arthritis Program has worked closely with the Arthritis Network (formerly known as the Arthritis Coalition) to craft a statewide Action Plan that can be used as a template for future planning.
The plan's goal is to expand awareness, education and resources to everyone in Oregon and touch as many people's lives as possible.

Our Partners
The Oregon Arthritis Network has been focusing their goals toward improving the lives of people with arthritis and also addressing those who are at risk for developing arthritis. Looking at the generational spectrum of people's lives is important for the prevention and proper treatment of arthritis. The idea is to create new possibilities of resources and joint partnerships to provide successful educational tools and programs in Oregon.
