Welcome to the

Hesperia/High Desert Connect Group

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.

High Desert Connect Group – Arthritis & Coffee Chat

Join us at our favorite meet-up spot to talk about all things arthritis—and life in general!

We enjoy getting together at Panera whenever we can, but we took a break while I (Jenn) recovered from ankle replacement surgery. I'm happy to share that I'm almost back to myself! I still have plenty of physical therapy ahead of me, but I'm driving again and walking with less pain.

Feel free to grab a coffee/tea, snack, or meal while you're there (food and beverages are available for purchase at your own expense). We have ideas for future meet-ups and would love to hear what interests you. If you can't join us this time, please email us (addresses below) and share your ideas for future gatherings.

We hope to see you there!
