North Jersey Regional Arthritis Center
The North Jersey Regional Arthritis Center (NJRAC) is a regionally based arthritis center that serves all northern New Jersey counties. It was established in 2000 through the enactment of the Arthritis Quality of Life Initiative Act.
The Center’s goals are twofold. First, it aims to increase awareness about arthritis and osteoporosis, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Second, we provide programs that support better quality of life for those living with arthritis and osteoporosis. Our activities include information and outreach, physical activity classes, and self-management programs and services for persons affected by arthritis and osteoporosis.
