one way to treat any given condition.

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
