The Wisconsin Arthritis Program is one of the Wisconsin Division of Public Health’s chronic disease prevention programs.  The program provides statewide leadership for arthritis prevention, control and management.  Its primary activities are to:

  • Collect and analyze data on the burden of arthritis and its complications on Wisconsin residents.
  • Coordinate statewide arthritis-related activities through its partnership with the Arthritis Foundation– Wisconsin Chapter and the  Wisconsin Arthritis Action Council network.
  • Implement the Wisconsin Arthritis Action Plan through collaboration with its partners.
  • Support community-based interventions that have been proven effective in reducing arthritis pain, disability and costs

 

Great things are happening in 2010! The Wisconsin Arthritis Program was able to purchase some radio spots to promote the 800# for the Living Well with Chronic Conditions, Stepping On, and AF Exercise Programs.  Check out the links that take you to the site the marketing firm that has created for the classes as well as the 30 second radio that will be aired the weeks of January 4th and 18th, 2010.
