Adults will learn how to stay active, independent from experts at Mount Sinai Queens
Those interested in learning more about bone health and signs and symptoms of spine compression fractures may attend a Bone Health Workshop organized by American Bone Health (with an educational grant supported by Medtronic) in partnership with Mount Sinai Queens. The free workshop takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at HANAC George Douris Tower, 27-40 Hoyt Ave. S., Astoria, N.Y. Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
“Adults who want to stay active and independent will not want to miss this workshop,” said Kathleen Cody, Executive Director of American Bone Health. “People will learn from experts at Mount Sinai Queens about bone health and preventing broken bones, especially in the spine. With this information, they can take action to build their own roadmap for better bone health.”
The Bone Health Workshop includes the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis and tips on preventing bone loss and fractures. “Adults can take important steps to improve their bone health with good nutrition and exercise, and this workshop will give them a roadmap with presentations and activities,” said Cody.
“Mount Sinai Queens is bringing an important opportunity to the community,” said Ana Rodriguez, Director of Community Relations, Mount Sinai Queens. “We hope as many people as possible will take advantage of this Bone Health Workshop.”
