B.C. Arthritis Society
honored by therapists

THE CANADIAN Association of
Occupational Therapists recently
honored the Arthritis Socicty's
B.C. and Yukon division with a
citation in recognition of its 40
years of substantial support for the
development of rehabilitation ser-
vices in British Columbia.

Arthritis, which is Canada’s
most common chronic disease, is
treated with a carefully-prescribed
combination of drugs,
physiotherapy and occupational
therapy. Occupational therapy
helps people whose joints have
heen damaged by disease to cope
more easily in their home and
work environments.

In communities all across B.C.,
treatment programs and self-help
aids designed and developed by
Arthritis Socicty occupational
therapists have helped thousands
of arthritis sufferers lead indepen-
dent, productive lives.

There are arthritis centres or
specific treatment units in Van-
couver, Victoria, Penticton and
Cranbrook. The society also coo-
perates with more than 50 com-

munity hospitals throughout the
province by training and updating
those hospitals’ therapists in
specific arthritis treatment tech-
niques.

In areas without therapists, the
society provides outreach services
with a travelling workshop-on-
wheels. The occupational thera-
pists’ van, staffed by therapists
from Vancouver's Arthritis Cen-
tre, travels regularly to these areas,
providing splints and self-help aids
to arthritis patients whu have been
referred by their family doctors or
rheumatologists.

The Arthritis Society has pro-
vided treatment for arthritis pa-
tients in B.C. since 1947, Today,
there are more than 320,000 people
with arthritis in the province. For
many of those people, the efforts
of the society’s specially-trained
occupational therapists have made
life with a chronic disease very
much easier to bear.

thritis contact Barbara Crowson at
