Arthritis Action Plan

Arthritis Action Plan

Bold, compelling, inspiring.

The Arthritis Action Plan will be a nationwide strategy, co-created by 21 Ecosystem Champion organizations, working with Arthritis Society Canada to revolutionize health outcomes and quality of life for people living with arthritis.


Over the next ten years, the Plan will take on the big issues of arthritis, including prevention, cures, equitable access and elevating the urgency of the disease. Everyone plays a role in solving arthritis — the healthcare sector, people and families with lived experience, government at all levels, other non-profits, industry, researchers, and academics — and we must all work together as partners.

Arthritis is misunderstood

Arthritis is a brutal disease that can strike anyone at any age. It robs people of mobility, independence, livelihood, and physical and mental health.

Who is involved?


Arthritis Society Canada, acting as the backbone organization, is working together with 21 partners across the country to develop an Arthritis Action Plan to transform health outcomes for people living with arthritis.

This innovative, first-of-its-kind Plan will engage 1 million voices, making it the largest co-created plan in Canada.
