New Infographic for Policymakers Now Available

Congratulations to Vicky Duong, Bridget Graham, and Belinda Lawford for their winning infographic for policymakers entitled "Improving Care for Osteoarthritis: The Forgotten Chronic Disease".

In collaboration with the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance, OARSI hosted an infographic competition aimed at policymakers. Policymakers play a critical role in 1) crafting and enacting rules, laws, and regulations; 2) delivering guidance documents; and 3) directing public investment in research and healthcare to positively affect the lives of people with OA. The infographic's purpose is to convince policymakers that investments in OA research and healthcare improve quality of life and increase productivity.

Visit the OARSI website to view the infographic.
