OA Action Alliance

A national coalition promoting effective programs, policies and communication strategies to prevent and control osteoarthritis.

The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA) was launched in 2011 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Arthritis Foundation to realize the mission and objectives outlined in the 2010 National Public Health Agenda for Osteoarthritis. In 2014, management of the OAAA was transferred to the Thurston Arthritis Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We reconnected, we got social, and we're ready to take action. The OA Action Alliance strongly endorses and encourages regular physical activity, weight management, injury prevention and self-management education as proven strategies to maintain healthy joints and manage the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
