Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin and weak, often resulting in fractures. Fractures can cause debilitating pain, reduced mobility, and a loss of quality of life. Hospital for Special Surgery has teamed with the New York State Osteoporosis Prevention and Education Program (NYSOPEP) to help patients learn about this illness and learn to live more fully.
- New York State Osteoporosis Prevention and Education Program (NYSOPEP)
This education initiative is dedicated to provide the most accurate and current information about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
- Community Education & Outreach
HSS offers a wide range of educational courses and workshops for patients as well as the public. Many of them are either free or a low fee is charged. See our Event Calendar for course descriptions and to register online.
