The mission of AiArthritis is to elevate and center the patient voice in global conversations with all stakeholders so, together, we can solve problems impacting the autoimmune and autoinflammatory arthritis community.
Join Tiffany Westrich-Robertson, CEO, as she explains that each person - and our associated roles - are like marbles. If each stakeholder group is a color, and only one color is in the jar, we will never develop solutions that matter to all stakeholders involved in the problem. So we are evolving the show - and our associated online AiArthritis Voices platform, which will now be available for all stakeholders who wish to participate in the ongoing conversations.
Patient Voices and All Other Stakeholders - Join our AiArthritis Voices Program and Connect to Opportunities to Have Your Voice Counted!
If you are a patient, a parent of a juvenile patient, or any other stakeholder (doctor, nurse, researcher, industry representative, or other health services person) - are you ready to join the conversation? It's your turn to pull up a seat. Join our new AiArthritis Voices program, where people living with AiArthritis diseases and other stakeholders who we need 'at the table' to solve problems that impact education, advocacy, and research sign up to have a voice in our initiatives. By signing up, you’ll get notified of opportunities to be more involved with this show - including submitting post-episode comments and gaining insider information on future show topics. Patients and all other stakeholders are encouraged to join so we can match you with opportunities to pull up a seat and TOGETHER - as equals - solve the problems of today and tomorrow.
