Rheumatic disease patient education & support should be a PRIORITY, not an afterthought. I created Rheum to THRIVE so that no one has to do life with RA on their own! Katie's story shows the positive impact of self-management ed & support #rheum youtube.com/shorts/B7wgAo42Q…

At #ACR2025, patient advocate Carol Kaminski shares her inspiring message: aging well with chronic illness is possible. Living with mixed connective tissue disease for 40 years, Carol highlights why patients must be part of the research conversation — and how collaboration between patients and clinicians leads to better, more holistic care. #PatientVoice #Rheumatology #ACR2025
