Arthritis Foundation and Founding Sponsor Zimmer Biomet Announce New Community Celebrating Life After Joint Replacement and Inspiring Others to Act on Severe Joint Pain

Vickie Fung, Chief Strategy and Mission Officer, Arthritis Foundation

“The decision to have joint replacement surgery is not made lightly. It's also a deeply personal choice, and surgery may not be the right path for everyone. For those who have made that journey, and for those weighing it, the Comeback Club is a chance to celebrate and learn from others who have reclaimed their lives from chronic joint pain. Like our Live Yes! Connect Groups, the Comeback Club brings together people from different walks of life who share arthritis and all that comes with it.”

Kristen Cardillo, SVP, Chief Communications Officer, Zimmer Biomet

“Osteoarthritis affects nearly 600 million people worldwide and can shape how people live, move and engage with the world around them. As a global leader in innovative hip and knee replacement technologies, Zimmer Biomet is proud to partner with the Arthritis Foundation as the founding sponsor of the Comeback Club. This new community connects people who have undergone joint replacement with others exploring their treatment options, giving them a place to share experiences and learn from one another. We hope these authentic stories of renewed mobility and what may be possible after treatment will inspire more people to talk with their doctor and take the first step toward a comeback of their own.”
