It’s not just older people who are affected by arthritis, children get it too. That’s why observing Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month in July each year is so important in order to raise awareness about this condition and share resources to help those affected by it. In kids with arthritis, their immune system attacks their joints, causing swelling, stiffness, and sometimes permanent damage, which can get worse if left untreated. CSHCS is one resource in Macomb County that can help to cover costs of treatment and offer parent to parent support.
