Founded in 1934, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) is the leading not-for-profit professional association, and it supports more than 9,600 rheumatology experts, including those who both treat and study psoriatic arthritis. It maintains a Rheumatology Provider Directory and offers a variety of patient resources, including information about psoriatic arthritis.

Advocacy work is also a priority: The ACR started Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month, which takes place every September with the goal of spreading awareness about these conditions and the personal and economic toll they take on people.

More locally, the ACR encourages people to contact the government representatives who are responsible for making policy decisions that affect their daily life. By sharing your personal stories about treatment access or cost issues, you can help the ACR solve policy problems that have an impact on people with psoriatic arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
