About our Arthritis Support and Advocacy Network:

The CAN! Arthritis Support and Advocacy Network is comprised of arthritis and joint disease/joint disorder patients who are concerned about their health care or want to learn more about arthritis.  Advocacy network members will receive our e-mail newsletter which highlights advances in arthritis treatment.

Some people are very involved with the network, and some are more passive members who just like to receive the e-mail newsletter.  The most important thing you can do as an arthritis advocate is learn about your disease so that you can communicate with your physician and advocate for the treatments most appropriate for you.

Advocates will occasionally be informed of pressing state or national issues which impact arthritis patients. These alerts will include guidance about how to respond to the issue.
