Osteoporosis Education

Osteoporosis affects more than 28 million Americans. This educational program targets the teenage and the elderly population of our community. Our program for teens focuses on healthy eating habits including calcium-rich foods while they are in their bone mass augmentation development years. Educational outreach to our senior population focuses on healthy eating habits to include a diet high in Vitamin D and Calcium, fitness and the importance of weight-bearing exercise, eliminating tobacco and alcohol use, and encouraging periodic bone density testing.
