ADVOCACY IS ONE OF THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION. OUR MISSION IS TO BE THE VOICE OF PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS WITH POLICY MAKERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, REGULATORS, AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND EMPLOYERS. WE DO THIS BY ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITY OF ADVOCATES IN LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY POLICY MAKING, HELPING THEM TO FIND THEIR VOICES THROUGH ADVOCACY TRAINING, MEETINGS WITH CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND STATE OFFICIALS TO ENSURE ACCESS TO TIMELY, AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO TREATMENTS AND MEDICATIONS. PART OF OUR ADVOCACY PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES THE ARTHRITIS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THROUGH ADVOCACY TRAINING AND RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT. A NEW FOCUS OF THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM IS ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT BY OUR ADVOCATES IN POLICYMAKING AT THE STATE LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION IS WORKING TO ENSURE THAT RESEARCH FUNDING FOR ARTHRITIS IS INCREASED AND THAT THERE IS RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT THIS DISEASE IMPACTS ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS. 15974406 11967078 0 SEE SCHEDULE O. 11493896 0 1707317 COMMUNITY HEALTH & SUPPORT: THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION COMMUNITY PROGRAMS EMPOWER PEOPLE IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE.
