What does JAM mean in HOSPITALS

Juvenile Arthritis (JA) is an umbrella term for any type of arthritis or related autoimmune diseases in children age 16 or younger. JA can cause swelling, pain and stiffness of the joints and other areas, including the eyes and skin.

JAM is made up of a dedicated team of health professionals who specialize in helping children and families who have been affected by juvenile arthritis. The care team consists of rheumatologists, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, mental health counselors and more. Additionally, they are supported by a network of over 750 volunteers across Canada who work together to provide JA-related services to those in need.

JAM offers a variety of assistance programs designed to help families manage their child's juvenile arthritis both physically and emotionally. These include medical advice from rheumatologists, information about treatments and medications as well as access to financial assistance for those in need. In addition, they offer leisure activities that help keep kids active and make sure they are still having fun despite their condition. Finally, they also offer emotional support through a variety of counselling programs so that parents can talk openly about their worries or concerns regarding their child's disease.
