Arthritis is on the rise.  A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projects that, by the year 2040, more than 78 million Americans aged 18 years or older will be diagnosed with some form of arthritis – and two-thirds will be women. Living with rheumatoid arthritis or another inflammatory disease can be difficult, but current treatment strategies have come a long way in managing symptoms and improving people’s lives.

At Memorial Hermann, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for our patients with arthritis and other chronic conditions. Recently, Memorial Hermann Health System established the first truly integrated specialty pharmacy in Houston.
