May is Arthritis Awareness Month!

Did you know...

- There are more children with Juvenile Arthritis than those with diabetes, sickle cell anemia, and muscular dystrophy...all of which are more discussed in the media. JA is in the top 4 childhood diseases with cancer, allergies and asthma, and diabeties. And yet there is a huge shortage of pediatric rheumatologists and 1/3 of kids live 50 miles from a doc and 1 in 5 travel more than 100 mi to see doc. (Source: Raising a Child with Arthritis)
