Start an American Bone Health Chapter
Joining or starting a chapter is a wonderful way to stay informed and be there for your community. Local chapters help educate and support individuals and families who are newly diagnosed and individuals seeking to learn more about bone health.
Our experience has shown us that if we truly want to make an impact on bone health, we need to create an active physical presence in communities throughout the nation. We are working to establish a network of volunteer chapters, and we invite you to become part of this journey to end osteoporosis.
