The Center for Arthritis and Joint Diseases, of the Division of Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, continues a long tradition as a comprehensive Center, combining activities in rheumatic disease clinical care, education, training and research as an integrated series of successful cutting-edge programs.
Clinical care is provided by more than 30 rheumatologists – who are all faculty members of Harvard Medical School – who see more than 25,000 visits annually, providing expertise in all areas of rheumatic disease. Our specialized centers of excellence for inflammatory conditions treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis and myositis. We treat regional musculoskeletal problems and distinct patient populations in our Spine Center, Women’s Musculoskeletal Center, and the Center for Skin and Related Musculoskeletal Diseases.
Comprehensive arthritis care is facilitated by the integration of ancillary services in bone and joint radiology, occupational and physical therapy, podiatry, and the location of these services with the rheumatology and orthopedic ambulatory practices. We work closely with our colleagues in orthopedics, physiatry, radiology, physical therapy, neurology, podiatry, dermatology, pain management specialists and other professionals.
Clinical research in such areas as new therapies for rheumatoid arthritis and outcomes and risk factor population studies on rheumatic disease patients has led to many key insights in understanding disease and in newly developed therapies. Our program in research includes nearly 50 faculty and more than 130 research investigators.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital continues to be a world-class leader in the area of rheumatology. U.S.News & World Report® repeatedly names us among the top 10 hospitals in rheumatology.
