Arthritis is one of the most common, disabling and costly chronic diseases in Canada, affecting one in six Canadians. We can't accept "no cure" for an answer.
The Arthritis is cured! (if you want it) – Canada’s leading National Arthritis Awareness Program (NAAP) – encourages Canadians to recognize the impact of arthritis, and take steps to change how arthritis is perceived. Expanding conversations about arthritis, the NAAP has launched the Arthritis Broadcast Network (ABN). The daily source for arthritis news and information, ABN will entertain, inform and inspire those living with arthritis to live their best lives.
The NAAP also offers two free arthritis apps for iPhone and iPod touch – ArthritisID (for the public) and ArthritisID PRO (for healthcare professionals). You can learn more about these apps in our Resources [hyperlink - http://www.arthritisiscured.org/resources/] section, or visit the iTunes Store to download ArthritisID [hyperlink - http://bit.ly/GetArthritisID] and ArthritisID PRO [hyperlink - http://bit.ly/GetArthritisIDPRO.
