Arthritis Today magazine is a monthly publication provided by the Arthritis Foundation. What I didn't know was that July was Juvenile Arthritis Month and there were some surprising current statistics in July's issue about Kiddos with arthritis in the United States:
1 in 250 kids have JA; 83,000 emergency room visits are made each year; and there are 13 states without a pediatric rheumatologist. Arizona has one, just one, and he's in Phoenix.
More current stats to come in my next blog. STAY TUNED.
