Bone Health

The Bone Health program is an interactive and educational group designed to optimize bone health. 

​

Participants attend a 2.5 hour group session where they will learn about:

​

• the definition of low bone mass and osteoporosis

• how fracture risk is determined

• dietary sources of calcium and vitamin D

• calcium and vitamin D supplements

• medications used to treat bone loss, their risks, benefits and costs

• exercise and falls prevention

• community resources for patients with low bone mass and osteoporosis.

The program is facilitated by Dr. Adina Birenbaum and a Registered Nurse with cameos from our Team Pharmacist and Registered Dietitian.

HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM?

​

Patients may be referred to the program by their KFHT family doctor or other KFHT healthcare professional, OR they may self-refer. Please speak with your healthcare professional if you have questions or would like to find out more about the program.
