Interested in Walk with Ease? - We Can Help!  

Walk with Ease is a robust, evidence-based program created by the Arthritis Foundation for the self-management of arthritis pain and symptoms. However, it is endorsed by the CDC as a 'lifestyle management' program as it provides many other benefits.  The program is available in Group, Self-Directed and Hybrid formats. To learn more and get connected to the statewide network of leaders, join our 'Community of Practice' group. Meetings are monthly and provide information on how the programming works and how you can promote referrals or lead your own program. Click here to complete the registration form

How Does it Work?
​Programming and training are coordinated through a centralized support process that prepares leaders to deliver Walk with Ease with fidelity. This approach allows us to build capacity statewide by equipping organizations with the training, tools, and guidance needed to implement and sustain evidence-based programming in their communities.
As part of our shared commitment to promote the adoption (and delivery) of evidence-based programming across the state, we will be evaluating our training model. Individuals and organizations that want to engage, will be asked to complete baseline evaluations and periodic surveys to evaluate programming.
What is the OAAA Portal?
