For centuries men and women, young and old, have been affected by
a disease in which little was known except its symptoms. But in 1948,
a group of scientists and physicians came together to take action
against this condition called arthritis. Perhaps heartened by breakthroughs
in medicine, this community of scientists envisioned a day when a
cure for arthritis would be discovered and the millions of people
with arthritis would no longer suffer. Their actions resulted in the
formation of the Arthritis Foundation.
