Our Research Moves People

Arthritis Research Canada turns scientific advances into motion. We are helping Canadians of all ages living with arthritis walk, work, and live pain-free. And your gift ensures we can move more lives forward. Most people imagine medical research will take years to have an impact. But at Arthritis Research Canada, every advancement results in visible, measurable changes today: helping people regain their childhood, find their independence, rebuild careers and return to the moments that matter.

With over 200 ongoing studies, Arthritis Research Canada scientists are leading breakthroughs in prevention, treatment, and quality of life for the more than six million Canadians of all ages living with arthritis.

Your donation fuels research that:

  • Prevents life-threatening complications like heart attacks and strokes.
  • Helps Canadians stay active, work confidently, and live with dignity.
  • Addresses the mental health impact of chronic pain and fatigue.
  • Turns evidence into programs that help people move, physically and emotionally.
