SOPHE, in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation, created this webinar to understand the burden of arthritis and the need for evidence-based programs. This webinar focuses specifically on the Walk With Ease program, how to choose the best program format for your organization, and how to budget and sustain the program.

Fifty million Americans live with arthritis pain. Arthritis-Appropriate, Evidence-Based Interventions (AAEBIs) have been shown to decrease arthritis and disability and improve quality of life and are offered in communities and health departments in every state reaching more than 50,000 people a year. Despite their availability – and many having remote delivery options – such programs are currently under-used.

In this webinar, presenters will engage in a dialogue to address these questions as well as offer examples of programs that successfully resolved some of these challenges in Native American, American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Communities.
