Patient Stories
Patient stories are an impactful way to connect and inspire individuals. In the Strong Bone & Me Story Series we will speak to those who have been affected by osteoporosis and bone fractures.
In this series of patient interview videos, you’ll hear from a diverse group of people who have faced the challenges and gained valuable insights into managing osteoporosis, fractures, and maintaining healthy bones as they age. Our goal is to educate and raise awareness about osteoporosis, fracture prevention, and follow-up care, and to provide a platform for individuals to share their experiences and insights. Additionally, we will feature interviews with bone specialists who will share important information on treating and preventing osteoporosis and multiple fractures, with a focus on lifestyle changes and follow-up care. Join us on this journey of learning, sharing, and promoting better bone health.
