You can make a difference!

Looking for ways to get involved in the fight against osteoporosis? Giving your time is one of the most valuable ways to help American Bone Health fight osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

American Bone Health offers a range of opportunities for you to get involved.

Health fairs

 Our volunteers do a number of screenings to assess bone health: fracture risk screening, posture evaluation, shoe evaluation, calcium and vitamin D assessment.

Community talks

 Trained as community speakers, our volunteers can speak to groups about osteoporosis diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Presentations can be tailored to older adults, health professionals and youth. Talks are offered in a variety of settings.

Bone Health Lecture Series

 Our volunteers can identify local experts to speak in depth on bone health topics from nutrition and physical activity to diagnostics and treatment.
