Advocacy and Spondylitis

We listen. We care. We do something about it.

Engage with others to make a difference!

SAA’s Advocacy Committee invites you to join our efforts to effect positive change by taking an active role. Stay informed, raise awareness, and contact your elected representatives!

Strategic Priorities:

Join in and become an advocate for people living with spondylitis. Together, we can work to increase public awareness, improve access to health care, increase federal research funding to cure spondylitis, and influence public policies that impact the spondylitis community.

The Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) is the leading nonprofit organization in the United States dedicating its resources to the active support of people living with spondylitis. We strive to bring about increased awareness, education, and research to ensure a better life for all those affected by spondylitis.
