The Osteoporosis Clinic at Saint Francis Hospital
Independent, functional, pain free aging is what we all desire. Unfortunately, fractures can significantly reduce the likelihood of achieving this desire and can even increase mortality. At the Osteoporosis Clinic at Saint Francis Hospital, our goal is to optimize the skeletal aspect of your health span.
We diagnose and treat a variety of diseases that affect bone health from vitamin D deficiency and mineral disorders, to hormonal disorders such as hyperparathyroidism, to the effects of medications, illnesses, and aging on our bone strength. We carefully analyze all aspects of your health to determine a care plan that best promotes your personal health and goals. We bring together experts in multiple fields to optimize a bone healthy lifestyle, address pain if indicated, and implement safe, effective, and evidence-based pharmacotherapy as needed.
