🇺🇸 This Veterans Day, we honor the courage, service and sacrifice of our U.S. veterans and their families.

NCRA is deeply grateful to the veterans in our communities—including those living with chronic rheumatic and autoimmune conditions.

To the veterans who serve as patients, clinicians, caregivers, advocates, family members, and neighbors — thank you.
Your resilience inspires us every day. 💙 We honor you today and always.

🧠✨ A new frontier in rheumatology: Did you know that beyond medications, we’re now tapping into the body’s own wiring to combat inflammation? The latest research on the Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) shows real promise for people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Read the latest NCRA blog. We’re committed to sharing these advances so that every person in North Carolina has access to the latest information. https://ncrheum.org/harnessing-the-nerve-vagus-nerve-stimulation-for-rheumatoid-arthritis/

Today is a day to raise awareness, honor those living with arthritis and recommit to better care, understanding and research.

At NCRA, we see the faces behind the diagnosis: people in rural towns, busy parents, elderly neighbors, young people fighting invisible pain and every story in between.

Let’s work together for a better North Carolina!

🩺 Did you know that over 54 million Americans are living with arthritis and other rheumatic conditions

At NCRA, we believe in:
• Breaking down misconceptions (“arthritis is just part of aging”)
• Supporting patients to speak up and connect with care early
• Working toward better insurance practices, improved access (especially in rural areas), and stronger rheumatology workforce

Here are 3 facts you should know:
1️⃣ About 15% of people with psoriasis may also have psoriatic arthritis (PsA)—and many don’t know it.
2️⃣ Delays in diagnosis (often 1–2 years) can make joint damage much worse.
3️⃣ Psoriasis and PsA are often linked with other health issues like heart disease, obesity, and depression.

💡 Early detection can make a big difference.
