Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) is a national organization that provides research-based joint health information and education to Canadians with arthritis, and monitors the performance of provincial health care delivery for people with arthritis across the country.
Through its JointHealth™ series of programs, ACE helps to empower people living with all forms of arthritis to take control of their disease and to take action in health care and research decision-making.
Formed as a private-sector company, ACE operates like any other non-profit group—on unrestricted grants from public and private sector organizations, as well as individual donations.
Arthritis Consumer Experts is committed to the following organizational objectives:
- To inform, educate and empower people with arthritis to help them take control of their disease and improve their quality of life
- To provide evidence-based information in reader-friendly language to people with arthritis, the public, governments and media
- To provide research decision-making training to people with arthritis to help them participate meaningfully in research organizations and in consultations with government
