Five Ways to Get Involved in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Simple Tasks Campaign

• Share the campaign video via social media, when working with medical students, or through your practice’s or institution’s website, lobby, or patient rooms.
• Forward a link to the campaign video or white paper (both found at www.SimpleTasks.org) to your lawmakers with a note explaining why rheumatic diseases are more than aches and pains and why rheumatologists are the only specialists specifically trained to treat them.
• Talk about the campaign with your fellow ACR members. Start or join a list serve conversation to discuss the campaign and ways members can become involved.
• Start a conversation by telling someone, “With a rheumatic disease, the simplest tasks—such as eating, brushing your teeth, or turning a key—can become impossible.” You’ll be amazed at how this conversation starter (when used with the right audience) can open the door to busting many myths about rheumatology.
