Arthritis Consumer Experts

Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) is a leading Canadian patient-led organization that provides free, science-based information and education programs to people living with arthritis. Founded in 2002, the organization operates the JointHealth family of programs, which includes newsletters, podcasts, and educational workshops designed to empower patients in their care. ACE is heavily involved in healthcare advocacy, working with provincial and federal governments to ensure equitable access to medications and improved clinical standards. While not a drug developer, the organization serves as a critical bridge between the patient community, rheumatologists, and policy-makers to improve health outcomes across Canada.
