What About Your Bones and Why do They Matter? Bone Health Resources in Small Communities

Original Air Date : January 20, 2021

In small communities sometimes not all healthcare resources for assessing bone health are available. Join our panel as they discuss how you can get the information and access to the tools and resources you need to make informed decisions to reduce your risk and manage osteoporosis. The webinar panel will also provide information on exercise and nutrition to help keep your bones strong and healthy especially during COVID-19.
