GET A GRIP ON YOUR ARTHRITIS

Belleville, NJ — Has the pain of arthritis kept you from doing the things you love? Learn more about your arthritis by attending Get a Grip on Your Arthritis, a free seminar offered by Clara Maass Medical Center on April 1, 2009 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The event will be held in the Belleville Founders Room at Clara Maass, One Clara Maass Drive, Belleville, NJ.

Arthritis limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing and bathing. Over 45 million Americans—one in five adults—suffer from arthritis pains everyday. And, according to the Arthritis Foundation, it is one of the most prevalent chronic health problems and the nation’s leading cause of disability among Americans over age 15.
Registration is required. To register, or for more information about athritis management, please call 1.888.SBHS.123 (1.888.724.7123) prompt #1. Free parking is available in the parking deck. There is no cost to attend this event.
