Fractures occur because of an abnormality in bone mass.
It makes bones very porous, causing a weakening in their structure. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania ranks as one of the top five states with the greatest number of women with the disease. Magee-Womens Hospital is dedicated to addressing osteoporosis through the Womancare Bone Health Program. Major goals of the Bone Health Program focus on prevention and include enhancing detection services and promotion awareness of osteoporosis to women throughout the tri-state area. Our comprehensive services help us accomplish these goals.
