Arthritis State Plan
The State Plan for Arthritis Action 2006- 2010 provides a blueprint for a statewide approach to address arthritis during the next five years. The plan, which follows the framework of the National Plan for Arthritis Action, includes prevalence data, strategies for prevention, current core capacities, and a call to action to reduce the impact of arthritis in the state.
Responsibility for carrying out the plan belongs to DHEC staff, the Arthritis Foundation Carolinas Chapter staff, and the SC Arthritis Program Advisory Council members, along with the many other organizations and individuals throughout the state who are working collaboratively to prevent and appropriately treat and manage arthritis.
The State Plan for Arthritis Action in South Carolina 2000-2005 was developed as one of the first tasks of the SC Arthritis Steering Committee (later transitioned into the SC Arthritis Program Advisory Council). This document laid the foundation for the first statewide, population-based approach to arthritis in the state.
