July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month

Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month is observed annually in July to raise awareness about arthritis in children and adolescents. This condition affects approximately 300,000 children in the United States alone. Juvenile arthritis can cause joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving, which can impact a child's daily life. It is important to spread awareness about this condition to promote early detection, proper treatment, and support for those affected by juvenile arthritis. Throughout the month, various organizations and advocacy groups hold events and campaigns to educate the public and encourage action towards finding a cure.
