WHAT WE DO
Arthritis Research Canada is the largest clinical arthritis research centre in North America.
Our mission is to transform the lives of people living with arthritis through research and engagement. Led by Scientific Director, Dr. Diane Lacaille, Arthritis Research Canada’s scientific team of over 100 are creating a future where people living with arthritis are empowered to triumph over pain and disability.
With centres in British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec, Arthritis Research Canada is leading research aimed at preventing arthritis, facilitating early diagnosis, finding new and better treatments, and improving quality of life for people living with arthritis.
Falls are a major health care problem for older adults. They account for 50 per cent of injury-related hospital admissions, 40 per cent of nursing home admissions, and a 10 per cent increase in home care services. The good news: falls can be prevented. The latest episode of the Arthritis Research Education Series is now live and it’s all about preventing falls in older adults. 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.
