You may not think about your bones very often, but they support your every move. Healthy bones are hard, durable and dependable. But if you've been neglecting your bones, they are susceptible to osteoporosis, also known as the silent thief. This debilitating disease can turn your strong skeleton into a brittle and fragile frame.
Join us for refreshments and a lively discussion about the latest research on osteoporosis and what you can do to protect and repair your bones.
Take care of what you've got before it's gone!
This free event is presented by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and its Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis.
