Live Yes! Connect Groups offer local connections, education and empowerment. Adults living with arthritis from our local community come together for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics, as well as fun group activities.
We offer a place of understanding and encouragement for both people living with arthritis and their loved ones. Group participants become self-advocates, develop self-management skills and learn how to not just survive life with arthritis but to thrive.

Does anything have trouble with their RA and flare ups while working in an office? My upper neck/back between the shoulder blades keeps on hurting.. The Doctor said it was a strained muscle. It healed up nicely, then I just started back to work after a week off, and it is paining me again. I am so sad, I switched chairs, I put my computer down.. so if anything has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated!
Hope to see you all at the picnic tomorrow! We should have good weather
It was a fun day! Thanks for all your hard work
Hey everyone!! Welcome to the website! It's still a work in progress but I think it will improve every day. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday at the picnic. Be well, friends!
