Read our Rheumatoid Arthritis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new way to care for people with rheumatoid arthritis by having a specialized family doctor work alongside your rheumatologist. The family doctor will focus on preventing other health problems that people with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop, like infections, heart disease, and weak bones. The study will measure whether this added support improves your overall health over 6 months.
People with rheumatoid arthritis often need help managing other serious health problems at the same time, but rheumatologists sometimes don't have enough time and resources to address all of these issues. This trial explores whether adding a family doctor to the care team can fill that gap and help prevent complications.

Your rheumatologist will send your health information to a special family doctor clinic that focuses on preventing infections, heart disease, and bone problems. You'll have one appointment at this clinic where they'll check your blood pressure, weight, and heart rate, do blood work to screen for high cholesterol and diabetes, offer you protective vaccines if needed, and assess your bone health. Six months later, your rheumatologist will review how your health has improved.
