September: Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month


AWARENESS = ADVOCACY

Day of Action: September 25


A patient's access to care, disease management options and overall quality of life are directly impacted by policy, and one of the easiest ways to make a positive impact is to create awareness among policy makers of the utilization management issues affecting the rheumatology community.

Building awareness is advocacy, and advocacy has been the cornerstone of CSRO’s mission since it was founded over 20 years ago. In honor of Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month, we are calling on you to join us for a Day of Action on September 25.

An easy-to-use toolkit will be shared later this month with ways you can take action, and to help spread the word, there are a few steps you can take right now:

  1. Join our email list to receive our toolkit directly
  2. If you haven't already, plan ahead by scheduling time in your day for the Day of Action
    • Add a 10-minute meeting request to your calendar for September 25
  3. Follow @CSROAdvocacy on social media to stay in the know
  4. Help spread the word by sharing our posts leading up to Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month
    • You can share, repost, or retweet what you see from us, or post something organic using our images and sample messaging below
