Notes from the September Arthritis Council Workgroup call. This Arthritis Council workgroup is open to states and national partners who want to discuss the screening/counseling/referral of individuals with arthritis and the efforts to increase healthcare providers counseling on physical activity as a way to reduce arthritis pain, and referrals by those providers to evidence-based interventions. Participants are encouraged to share successes, challenges, barriers and invited to discuss opportunities to facilitate success towards strategy 2.
