The Arthritis Foundation was established in 1948 by a group of prominent
scientists and physicians. It is the only national voluntary health agency
seeking the causes, cures, preventions and treatments for the more than 100
forms of arthritis.
The Virginia Chapter, headquartered in Richmond, has responsibilities for
programming and fundraising which includes exercise programs, such as the
aquatic program at James City Williamsburg Community Center and innovative
approaches to treating children with juvenile arthritis.
