Julie Belkin, founder and president of 3-Point Products (pictured in the center), was interviewed on television about her experience as someone who suffers from arthritis, has treated arthritis patients and founded a company that focuses primarily on arthritis-related products. She has designed a number of arthritis splints for fingers, thumbs and wrists, some of which she wears herself.
The timing of this television interview was tied to National Arthritis Month (every May). Megan Pringle, co-anchor on the Baltimore ABC affiliate WMAR-TV's "Good Morning Maryland" program, conducted the interview. In the same segment, Jamie Costello interviewed Dr. Mark Deitch of the Orthomaryland Medical Group about the different forms of arthritis.
