As you transition to managing your own health care, there’s a lot to learn — including how to advocate for yourself when something doesn’t go as planned.

If insurance delays or denies a medication, knowing what to ask can help you take the next step with more confidence. Our upcoming Finding Your Way with JA webinar is designed for young adults navigating the transition to managing their own care, with practical tips for handling the real-life challenges that come with JA. 💚 Save this tip, then register and join us for the webinar on Sept. 15 to learn more. #JuvenileArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo
