🧡 July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month 🧡

Did you know that arthritis isn’t just an “older person’s disease”? It affects nearly 300,000 children and teens in the U.S. — some as young as a few months old.

This month, we shine a light on Juvenile Arthritis (JA) and other pediatric rheumatic conditions that impact young lives every day. Let’s raise awareness, support families, and advocate for better treatments and brighter futures.
