The Arthritis Foundation will be honoring Dr. Anthony Hedley, MD; Krista Hom, and Rowan Balma. Hedley, an orthopaedic surgeon with Hedley Orthopaedic Institute, has an unwavering commitment to help patients with arthritis and related diseases. Hom has been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis her entire life and wants a cure. Her grandfather and mother had RA and Hom and her sister were diagnosed with RA in 2004. Rowan Balma, age 4, has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Rowan’s brother, Noah Balma, asks “I love her very much, so do you think you can help her? I like playing with her, but sometimes it’s hard for her. Also, please ask your friends for support. Thank you.”
