Arthritis is the most common health reason why Canadians stop working. One in five living with rheumatoid arthritis leave the workforce within five years of receiving a diagnosis. And almost half of working-age Canadians with osteoarthritis report not working or attending school. Our scientists have developed a one-of-a-kind, online program, called Making it Work™ to help people with arthritis lead healthy, productive work lives. Learn More

OUR LATEST RESEARCH

At Arthritis Research Canada, we conduct research that helps people with arthritis continue to live their lives today. What does that mean? Prevention is our top priority, but we are also working to find ways for people with the disease to stay in the workforce, continue doing physical activities they love, manage pain and symptoms and much more.
