May 22 is Gout Awareness Day A Young Physicians PMA is a proud partner organization of the Alliance for Gout Awareness (AGA). This partnership allows APMA to represent the podiatric profession in a coalition of organizations working to increase public awareness of gout and its impact on patients. To aid in this effort, join APMA and AGA in recognizing Gout Awareness Day on May 22. Although gout can affect any joint, more than 50 percent of gout attacks start in the big toe. This reality makes podiatrists an integral part of the gout care team. Reach the patients who need your care and expertise the most by promoting your practice using #GoutAwarenessDay on social media.
