- Help Arthritis with Exercise (HARE)
Help Arthritis with Exercise is an innovative study whose goal is to reduce pain
and improve physical function and activity levels in adults with arthritis.
Over 200 people that fit the study’s criteria and have arthritis have been enrolled
in free exercise classes. There are 11 sites in eight counties in West Virginia that
offer this class which include Monongalia, Mineral, Marion, Harrison, Kanawha,
Jackson, Roane, and Calhoun Counties. This study is funded by a $1.2 million
dollar grant by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and is run by Dr.
Jones, Jennifer Eicher, and their research team.
