Her Excellency Prof Marie Bashir AC, Governor of NSW
Meet our CEO
Karen Filocamo
Karen has extensive management experience in government and non government health sector organisations. Karen joined Arthritis NSW as the Chief Executive in 2008 and was initially drawn to the organisation because of her interest in the health of older people. Since joining us however, she has focused on raising awareness that arthritis is not a condition that only affects older people, but also children, young adults and working age populations.
