We are proud to announce the successful opening of our 10th clinical location. San Tan Valley will initially open on Tuesday and Thursday of each week and will expand in the coming months to a full-time clinic, infusion and research location. Dr. Lim and Jennifer Anderson will be in clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we are recruiting a new Physician for this office to expand our capacity further.

Dr. Romy Cabacungan with Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates tells Tuscon Community how they specialize in Rheumatologic care including a comprehensive suite of ancillary services to treat related diseases. They understand the unique and significant healthcare challenges facing those patients living with arthritis and rheumatic diseases.

Treating patients who suffer from debilitating arthritis and getting them back to work keeps Dr. Eric Peters and other AARA health-care providers coming back to volunteer at the Virginia C. Piper St. Vincent de Paul Medical Clinic in Phoenix. What started 10 years ago with one provider volunteering one night per quarter has grown into an AARA team that volunteers every two weeks and sees eight patient a night. Dr. Peters makes diagnoses and sets up treatment plans for new patients and meets with returning patients to help them manage their disease. AARA’s health-care providers believe their mission is to help take care of the people of Arizona, including those at St Vincent de Paul, Dr. Peters says.

Arthritis is the #1 cause of disability in the United States, affecting more than 50 million people. The Arthritis Foundation is committed to finding a cure for the millions of people who suffer from arthritis pain, including 300,000 children and their families.

Walk to Cure Arthritis is the Arthritis Foundation’s nationwide signature event supporting our mission to conquer arthritis by spreading awareness and raising money for research aimed at finding a cure. Whether you are close to the disease or simply looking for an inspiring charity event, Walk to Cure Arthritis is a great way to experience the power of standing together and giving back to the community.
