Since 1995, David Bohn of Redding, CT, has served as president of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation. Apart from his responsibilities leading the Redding, CT, company, David Bohn supports the Arthritis Foundation.

There are approximately 50 million people in the United States experiencing arthritis and related conditions. Responding to this population’s rising concern about the health care system in America and how changes to it might affect them, the Arthritis Foundation has launched a new program called Prescription for Access to answer their questions and give them the information they need to make informed decisions about their care.

The Arthritis Foundation’s vice president of advocacy and access, Sandie Preiss, says the initiative is part of the organization’s commitment to helping people with arthritis more easily access and navigate the health care system. Prescription for Access does this by providing patients with resources that contribute to a better understanding of their health care choices and that walk them through the options they have when they experience claim denials, among other tools.
