Improve Drug Shortage Support for People With Arthritis
We are leading a project to improve how drug shortages are tracked and how people living with arthritis are supported when they happen.
We’re asking people living with arthritis to participate in a one-hour interview to share their experiences and ideas. An honorarium will be offered for your time.
Interested in participating or want to learn more? Email Laurie Proulx at director@arthritispatient.ca for details.
Coffee for CAPA Fundraiser Update
From April 14th – May 20th, we held our now bi-annual #CoffeeForCAPA fundraiser. We want to thank everyone who purchased delicious coffee from SparkPlug Coffee or donated directly. With your help, we raised approximately $850, which will be used to continue raising awareness, creating resources, holding events, and connecting people living with arthritis with the supports they need.
