Providing resources to those agriculturalists affected by arthritis is a main goal of the program. By visiting rural communities and taking part in local events, information can be provided to those who need it. Attending health conferences allows rural health care providers to obtain information on the effects of arthritis in agricultural careers and cultures.
Both the National AgrAbility Project and the Arthritis Foundation-Indiana Chapter are very active in public health education. The following information lists those times when Amber Wolfe, AgrAbility Project Coordinator, will be attending a conference or visiting a rural community or event. Please contact Amber Wolfe with any questions about the events listed below.
