July Is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month
Children can get arthritis just like adults. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the term used to describe arthritis in children. JIA is an autoimmune disorder, which means that the body’s immune system—which normally helps to fight off bacteria or viruses—mistakenly attacks some of its own healthy cells and tissues. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion.
If you're a parent or caregiver of a child who is experiencing any of the symptoms described above, make an appointment to see your child's provider by calling 907-543-6442. In the villages, call your local health clinic.
