Shades of Arthritis – Patient and Provider Perspectives

We gather healthcare providers and patients to address the unique challenges faced by individuals in the African American and Hispanic community living with arthritis. We spotlight the pivotal role of culturally competent healthcare, providing practical advice on effective communication and understanding patient rights within the healthcare system. Community support and resources will be highlighted, emphasizing the importance of engaging with organizations tailored to the Black/African American and Hispanic community. Holistic approaches to arthritis management, encompassing lifestyle changes and the mind-body connection will be explored, encouraging participants to adopt a comprehensive approach to health.
