The Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre (AARC) Foundation is one of the three foundations at University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, with offices at Toronto General Hospital.

The Foundation raises, manages and invests funds for arthritis and related autoimmune disease research taking place in labs and clinics across UHN. We strive to increase awareness of this large family of diseases, which affects over 4.5 million Canadians. Through leading-edge research and a greater awareness of the realities of arthritis-related diseases, we hope for a brighter future for those suffering from these debilitating conditions, and for better musculoskeletal health in Canada.


We strive to build strong, long-term relationships with donors, volunteers, researchers, doctors, caregivers and the community, to achieve philanthropic support for Canada's largest and most comprehensive group of experts dedicated to finding a cure for these illnesses. Meet the Staff

University Health Network comprises Toronto General, Toronto Western and Princess Margaret Hospitals.
