Program Information for Organizations

Walk with Ease is a CDC recommended lifestyle program created by the Arthritis Foundation for the self-management of arthritis pain and symptoms, but may also be beneficial for the prevention and management of other chronic diseases due to the emphasis on physical activity via walking. It is available in both self-directed and group formats. Our team has developed and evaluated a number of programmatic enhancements and is working closely with the Iowa Community Hub to expand programming opportunities statewide.

See the Video for details.
