The State Commission on Arthritis and Related
Diseases was created in 1985 (Chapter 250, Acts of
1985). The Commission coordinates the activities
of public and private agencies, medical schools, and
related professional groups to improve the quality
of life for arthritic individuals and their families. The
Commission makes recommendations to limit costs
associated with arthritis prevention and treatment,
and vocational training, as well as to improve ser-
vices. The Commission also develops and coordi-
nates programs in vocational rehabilitation and

industry to help arthritic individuals remain produc-
tive in the work force.

Through studies and proposals, the Commission
seeks to form an integrated State program of edu-
cation and applied research in gerontology and
geriatrics. The development of a strategic plan of
patient education throughout Maryland is coordi-
nated by the Commission. The plan involves State
and local health departments, private agencies,
pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, and
professional organizations.

The Commission consists of fifteen members
appointed by the Governor, who designates the
chairperson. Members serve four-year terms (Code
