The Center of Arthritis Excellence (CArE) is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health to deliver a community-based arthritis program under a not-for-profit governance model.
CArE evolved from the success of The Arthritis Program (TAP), an interprofessional model divested from its acute care setting in January 2021 secondary to loss of global budget support. CArE received first of its kind base funding from the Ministry of Health in 2022 to implement this innovative care model in the community.
CArE delivers community-based care for arthritis and associated conditions to provide patients with timely assessment, effective treatment, and patient education grounded in self-management principles and based on decades of ground-breaking and innovative arthritis teamwork.
Our services are delivered by an interprofessional team that includes Rheumatologists and allied healthcare professionals (Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Health Educators)
