Spondylitis Association of America (SAA), a national non-profit volunteer organization, is dedicated to the eradication of ankylosing spondylitis and related diseases through education, advocacy, awareness and research.  Before SAA was formed in 1983, not even a single pamphlet existed to tell those of us who suffered from AS about our illness or how we could reduce the potential disability.  Today, we’re committed to finding a cure and to empowering patients to live life to their fullest potential.  Today, we are the largest resource in the U.S. for people seeking information on spondylitis.  DONATE NOW.
