<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The annual Arthritis Pain Reliever Campaign will be conducted during the month of May and will coincide with the National Arthritis Awareness month. During the next month, we will make enhanced efforts to raise
awareness about the burden of arthritis in Oregon and effectiveness of physical activity programs for easing arthritis symptoms, and will promote self-management programs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We hope that you will take this opportunity to talk to your partners and the public about self-management programs available in our communities and promote these programs through success stories. You can find
campaign tools and resources in the presentation posted to the HPCDP Connection site under
