Live Yes! with Arthritis Podcast by the Arthritis Foundation interviews HSS rheumatologist Ashira D. Blazer, MD, MSCI and hip and knee surgeon Michael L. Parks, MD, on-air for an episode about how health disparities impact arthritis care and their origins.

The episode discusses how people of color face more challenges when it comes to managing arthritis, including delayed diagnosis, ineffective doctor-patient communication, mistrust and under-treatment of pain.

Drs. Blazer and Parks provide potential solutions to help minority patients better take control of their arthritis.
