2018 Living Your Yes With RA
Living Your Yes with RA is a personalized goal-setting event brought to you by the Arthritis Foundation. This free forum gives you the opportunity to learn ways that can help you say Yes more than No, despite the challenges of living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). You’ll get expert advice from a local rheumatologist plus guidance on setting goals that can help you live life to the fullest. Let us help you manage your RA, as well as communicate effectively with your own doctor.
This year, we’re hosting three types of events in 54 cities across the US. Below is a description of the three event types and a list of event locations. Events that are open for registration are in green. Event registrations open weekly, so please check back often.
It is not necessary to attend local events sequentially; we welcome new and return attendees to all 101, 201 and 301 events.
