The Norwegian Rheumatism Association is an organization that works to support people with rheumatic diseases. The association offers membership that gives access to various benefits, as well as arranging courses, activities and events for members. A special group within the association is the children's and youth group (BURG), which focuses on the needs of younger members. In addition, they have a helpline with peers who can provide support and guidance.
The organization also produces RevmaPodden, where topics related to chronic diseases are discussed. The Rheumatic Association emphasizes heart health for people with rheumatic joint disease and offers information on various diagnoses and how to live with them. With more than 300,000 Norwegians who have a rheumatic diagnosis, the association works to promote knowledge and facilitation, which is important for both public health and the economy.
