Meet the Honoree

The 2011 Indianapolis Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis® Honoree is Sarah Hake. Sarah was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since 1987 when she was just two years old. It is difficult for Sarah to explain what it's like to have arthritis because she has never known a life without it. Click here to learn more about Sarah and how she manages her arthritis.

Come Jingle with Us at Conseco Fieldhouse

Come jingle with us at the 23rd Annual Indianapolis Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis® presented locally by OrthoIndy. This year the event will once again start and finish at Conseco Fieldhouse on Saturday, December 10. Bells will be ringing as 3,500 people like you tie jingle bells to their shoelaces, don festive holiday costumes and join friends and neighbors in support of the Arthritis Foundation's mission to prevent, control and cure arthritis and related diseases. The JBR raises awareness of the nation's leading cause of disability, while raising desperately needed funds to find a cure for arthritis. Click here to see the 2011 course.

AlterG®

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, the world’s first and only treadmill using NASA based anti-gravity technology, has been installed at Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital (IOH) to help provide patients the opportunity to experience rehab or training without pain, even while the patient is still recovering from surgery or an injury. AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills enable faster rehabilitation, pro-like training and weight loss and can remove major obstacles associated with training and physical rehabilitation and helps people achieve better results. IOH is currently offering free trials for individuals interested in the AlterG at the IOH Outpatient Physical Therapy - Northwest and South facilities.
