Happy New Year from the CAPA Team! Reflecting on 2024 we are extremely proud of our accomplishments (watch this 10 minute video to learn more), especially in growing the engagement of people from across the country. Our focus is and always has been to improve the lives for people living with arthritis by identifying gaps in information and advocating for you with government and researchers to listen to the voices of patients. We can only do this by listening to all of you. CAPA is a small, but mighty grassroots, patient driven organization. 

We are fortunate to collaborate with many other patient focused organizations like The Arthritis Society, The Best Medicines Coalition and others. It’s a challenging world for groups like ours, finding funding for our work is an everyday concern for everyone. By joining the CAPA community you help us achieve our mission and legitimize the concerns for people living with this disease. There is power in numbers, you’ve shown us that throughout the years. 

We wish everyone a fabulous 2025. May you experience good health and find joy in life despite the ups and downs of living with the unpredictability of arthritis. We know that still, many do not fully understand how it impacts every aspect of our life. Help us to continue to drive home that message in 2025 and continue to move the bar for our patients. 

Reach out to us, we do our best to respond in a timely manner and we love to hear from you.
