Help the World Get a Grip on Arthritis During Arthritis Awareness Month
May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and we’re asking you to join us in our fight against the world’s most prevalent disease.
Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in the United States, affecting one in every four adults, nearly 300,000 children and countless families and loved ones. The physical pain it causes can make everyday tasks difficult if not impossible. Perhaps worst of all, arthritis steals quality of life, preventing people from doing the things they love, like favorite hobbies or activities and even simple pleasures like picking up their child.
That’s why we’ve launched ourLet’s Get a Grip on Arthritiscampaign.CVS Health®, the campaign’s Presenting Partner, is working with us to help Americans get a grip on arthritis. Shop at CVS Pharmacy®before May 31 and they’ll donate $1 back to the Arthritis Foundation with the purchase of select products, up to a maximum of $300,000.

Let’s Get a Grip on Arthritis
So More People Can Do What They Love
If you have arthritis, you know full well what it’s like. The physical pain that makes everyday tasks difficult if not impossible. The emotional distress and feelings of isolation. The money it drains from your family budget.
But many of those who don’t have arthritis don’t have a clue. They don’t know that:
- Arthritis is the world’s most prevalent disease. In the United States alone, 54 million adults – one in four – have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. And as many as 91 million Americans may truly be affected, according to a recent study.
- Arthritis isn’t just an “elderly disease.” Two-thirds of people with arthritis are under the age of 65, including 300,000 children.
- 虽然关节炎可能不像癌症或心脏病那样危及生命，但每年有1亿人次就诊，近700万人次住院治疗。它会损害重要器官，并使其他情况更糟。
- Arthritis is to blame for the loss of 172 million workdays each year and costs the U.S. economy more than $300 billion annually in lost wages and medical expenses.
