Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) is excited to introduce The Arthritis Advocate – a new publication created to help people living with arthritis become stronger advocates for themselves and others. Through practical self-advocacy tools, thoughtful health policy analysis and trusted information grounded in evidence and lived experience, each article will help readers ask better questions, make informed decisions and take meaningful action.
In our first article, ACE Founder and President Cheryl Koehn reflects on the organization’s 27-year journey – from helping people learn to manage their arthritis, to leading campaigns for better access to care, to influencing health policy across Canada. It’s a powerful reminder that when informed patients speak up, better decisions are made, better care is delivered and stronger arthritis policies become possible.
Read the first edition of The Arthritis Advocate and join us as we learn together, lead with purpose and influence the future of arthritis care in Canada.
