EPISODE 57: Strong Bones & Me: The Global Bone Health Initiative of the Global Healthy Living Foundation
Did you know that 1 in 3 women worldwide over the age of 50 will experience a broken bone due to osteoporosis? That's a staggering statistic. And it's not just women; 200 million people globally are estimated to have osteoporosis, a condition that can significantly impact their quality of life.
But here's the good news – there are organizations and initiatives working tirelessly to make a difference. On this episode of Bone Talk, we're shining a spotlight on the Global Healthy Living Foundation and their incredible Global Bone Health Initiative, Strong Bones & Me, which is making a significant impact in the world of bone health awareness.
Joining BHOF CEO Claire Gill from the Global Healthy Living Foundation are two individuals at the forefront of this work. Adam Kegley, Manager of Global Partnerships, has been instrumental in forging partnerships and collaborations, and Angel Tapia, Senior Patient Advocate and Hispanic Community Outreach Manager, is deeply involved in reaching out to diverse communities. Together, we explore the mission and goals of the Global Bone Health Initiative, Strong Bones & Me. We also discuss the vital connection between bone health and co-conditions, as well as how you, our listeners, can get involved and support this crucial cause.
