We envision a nation where osteoarthritis is prevented and managed to improve the quality of life for all Americans.
About us
The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA) is a coalition of member organizations committed to elevating osteoarthritis (OA) as a national health priority and promoting effective policy solutions that address the individual and national toll of OA. The Alliance is driven by the specific recommendations outlined in "A National Public Health Agenda for Osteoarthritis" and collectively supports the aligned goals of member organizations. Together we are leveraging our collective reach, expertise and influence to promote real and positive change in a way that no one organization could achieve alone. As a leader in this public health effort, the OAAA promotes evidence-based interventions and the establishment of supportive policies, communication initiatives, and strategic alliances for OA prevention and management. We need your participation to have the greatest impact. Become a member or join a workgroup today! Want to learn more?
