that weakens the bones and can lead to pain,

deformity, mobility issues and breaks. Women

are more at risk for developing the disease, but

the good news is that there are ways to prevent

bone loss. Take part in this FREE bone density

screening for women followed by Dr. Brown’s

informative program on risk factors, prevention

and treatment of osteoporosis.
