The Chair will support FLS start-up programs with training, knowledge, and funding.

Dr. Earl Bogoch has been appointed the inaugural holder of the Brookfield Chair in Fracture Prevention. This University of Toronto chair, a global first of its type, has been established at the University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Foundation through the generosity of Brookfield Partners Foundation, which provided a $3 million grant.  Dr. Bogoch was appointed after a Faculty search process.

St. Michael’s Hospital (SMH) in Toronto put into place the first Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) program – the first of its kind in Canada and the program has been a leader in the FLS movement across the country, and worldwide, since 2002.
