Join Alana Serota, MDCCFP, CCD, from the Internal Medicine and Metabolic Bone Health Center for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Health at HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) to learn why women should care about bone health, what the risk factors for bone health conditions are, and prevention methods to stay healthy. Additionally, gain practical knowledge about medications and lifestyle factors that can impact your bone health.
