The Utah Arthritis Advisory Committee (UAAC)

Who are we?

The UAAC consists of 23 members. Membership is comprised of four non-voting staff members, and 19 committee members representing the Arthritis Foundation Utah/Idaho Chapter; persons with arthritis, Salt Lake City Aging Services, physical therapists, rheumatologists, health plans representatives, community representatives, and a local health department.

What is our goal?

The UAAC advises and assists the Utah Arthritis Program (UAP) in developing and implementing programs to provide education and community-based services for people with arthritis and related conditions, by:

1. Advising the UAP on arthritis issues affecting the state.
2. Assisting in the development of policies and procedures to guide the UAP.
3. Advising the UAP on the development and implementation of Utah’s Arthritis Plan.
4. Providing feedback to improve the functions of the UAP.
5. Reviewing the proposed annual program plan for the UAP and providing input.

We have developed by laws to govern our committee.
