Tennessee Arthritis Action Plan
Arthritis prevalence in Tennessee ranks among the highest in the nation. It is estimated that 1.3 million, or one of five adults in Tennessee, have some form of arthritis. The Tennessee Arthritis Action Plan (TAAP) will serve as a framework for arthritis prevention and education efforts in Tennessee. The plan reflects the need to build the systems and networks necessary to address the burden of arthritis in Tennessee.
