Raising Awareness About Juvenile Arthritis
Arthritis is often considered a health condition that affects adults. However, almost 300,000 children cope with the joint pain, swelling and limited mobility associated with arthritis in the U.S. alone. Though there are many forms of arthritis in children, they are typically classified under the term juvenile arthritis.

They’re also remarkably common: approximately 300,000 children in the United States are living with a rheumatic disease.
