October 12, 2017 – On Saturday, October 21, join us in person at the Vancouver Public Library or via live webcast for Reaching Out for Arthritis Research (ROAR)—a public forum on managing your arthritis.
With rapid changes in access to health care information and health technologies, managing arthritis is becoming more collaborative and patient-centered. The ROAR public forum features a group of world class researchers from Arthritis Research Canada who are at the forefront of these changes.
Bring your questions, as this is an interactive forum. Each presentation will be followed by a short Question and Answer period designed to further discussion both online and in person. To end the event, a Speakers Panel will provide an opportunity for attendees to join the dialogue and ask questions.
