The Arthritis Foundation is the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. Serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the Long Island Chapter has developed an extensive program of services to help Long Islanders with arthritis and their family members. These services range from education, literature, lectures presented across Long Island, Telephone Help Line, land and water exercise programs, support groups and special topic seminars. Arthritis Self Help Courses are conducted at various sites in our community. These courses will give you an in depth look at the disease, teach you coping techniques that work and will put you in control.
