The Caribbean Arthritis Foundation was founded to help impove the lives of people suffering from Arthritis. Our mission is to work for all Arthritis patients on Aruba and throughout the Caribbean. We work with patients and non-patients for all people with arthritis. We are guided in our activities by what is important for people with Arthritis.


First Let’s Discover
Who we are

We are a group of people with the motivation of sharing about what Arthritis is as well as giving those affected by it some knowledge and help them figure a way to easen their way of living.

Now let’s see
What we do

We often host patient activities, where the patients are able to socialize, interact with specialist and enjoy their time. We also hold our annual medical congress’ for healthcare professionals to attend and learn more specifically about Arthrits related deseases.

And of course
When we do

We try to hold at the very least one patient activity per two months! And once every year for the Medical Congress


Patient activities are our main events, which we do every two months! For more information and updates regarding the next upcoming event, you can click here.
