Movement is Life Caucus

Share On Social!

With a team of nationwide partners, the Movement is Life Caucus is hosting the 2015 National Caucus on Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health Disparities on November 12 and 13 to reduce musculoskeletal disparities and related comorbidities and health care costs.

Women, African Americans and Latinos/Hispanics face more severe osteoarthritis, functional limitation, and disability than men and Whites, thus are more likely to be physically inactive, obese, diabetic, and have higher incidence of heart disease. Additionally, Latinos with bone and joint problems face lack of access to diagnostic, medical and surgical interventions.

Examples of topics at the National Caucus on Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health Disparities include:

• Health Literacy of the Newly Enrolled ACA Population: Profiles, Challenges & Opportunities
• Reach to Teach: Engaging Your Patient in Shared Decision Making Using a Health Literate Approach
• Power of Movement from the Physical Therapist Perspective
• Strategies to Introduce Movement is Life Resources in the Community
• How to Use Social Media to Enhance Community Outreach
