TMA proudly partners with worldwide patient advocacy organizations to drive myositis awareness on World Myositis Day. The next World Myositis Day is Saturday, September 21, 2024.

World Myositis Day was adopted in 2023, building upon TMA’s efforts to create a National Myositis Awareness Day in the US.

September is an important month for TMA, which has hosted the International Annual Patient Conference annually in September since 1995. On September 25, 2006, the US House of Representatives approved the goals and ideals of a “National Myositis Awareness Day” to be observed on September 21. The proclamation endorsing National Myositis Awareness Day capped a years-long effort by TMA.
