Welcome to the North Carolina Arthritis Program, a statewide program working to enhance coordinated efforts to improve the quality of life for the more than 2.4 million North Carolinians who are living with arthritis or chronic joint conditions.
This will be accomplished by educating people about arthritis, providing tools for people to manage their arthritis, and working with our community partners.
