“Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the term used to describe arthritis in children and teens and is the most common rheumatic disease of childhood. It is estimated that one in 1000 children in the United States are affected by JIA.

July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month, and we are taking the opportunity to spread awareness about this condition. “ -Valley Childrens Healthcare
