Busy Week!

We're busy beavers here at Arthritis Today. Our January-February 2007 issue, which contains our annual Drug Guide, just went to the printer. Now we're working hard on articles for our March-April issue. The Arthritis Walk ramps up in March – teams form and funds get raised. Our March-April issue will help you prepare to "walk The Walk."

In March, our Arthritis Walk team will have a new member. The staff of Arthritis Today just grew. We're happy to have Anne Garry join us as managing editor. She's not only getting herself situated here at AT, but also getting established as a new resident of Atlanta. She got here while Atlanta was in a warm spell and her former home of Chicago was getting chilly, though, so she's off to a good start.

Tomorrow morning, I'll be speaking with Chad Deal, MD, a rheumatologist at the Cleveland Clinic who headed up the ACR Workforce Study. I'm thrilled to have a chance to speak one-on-one with him about how rheumatologists plan to care for an expected influx of patients in the coming decades. You'll read about it all in our March-April issue. I'm sure I'll be mulling over what he says while I'm sitting in the waiting room at my rheumatologist's office on Monday morning!
