The Orthopaedic Institute at St. Elizabeth presents:
Living Without Limits Series: Assess Your Bone Health
Your risk for bone fractures increases as you age -- at the same time you're at an increased risk of falling. Osteoporosis happens when changes in your body cause your bones to become thinner, which makes them weaker and more likely to break. Do you know how strong your bones are?
Don't wait until you break a bone - Join us for a FREE HEEL SCAN to determine your bone density and your risk of osteoporosis. You'll also learn about the effects of osteoporosis on your bones, how you can take steps to prevent them, as well as what your treatment options are available to help.

No cost heel scans will be provided onsite in addition to our physician panel discussion. However, we ask that if you have obtained a heel or DXA scan in the last two years to please refrain from participating in the no cost heel scan. Heel scans are not medically necessary more than once every two years, we will be giving attendees who have not received a heel scan in the last two years priority in line.
