Healthy Bones
Supported Osteoporosis Program
Did you know that two out of three people over fifty are affected by Osteoporosis or Osteopenia1? Unfortunately, many Australians aren’t aware of the factors that contribute to poor bone health. Shockingly, around 80,000 patients stop their treatment each year, which can increase their risk of fractures in the future3. Untreated individuals face the possibility of osteoporotic fractures, especially in the hip and spine, which can lead to disability and pain.
But there’s good news! Our Supported Osteoporosis Patient Program, led by pharmacies, is here to help. We want to make sure that nobody slips through the cracks when it comes to managing their bone health. For eligible patients, our complimentary program uses friendly reminders and easy telehealth appointments with our expert nurse practitioners to keep you on track. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll get access to helpful resources for keeping your bones strong and a free vitamin D supplement.
Alongside the Supported Osteoporosis Program, we offer in-pharmacy Healthy Bone clinics aimed at preventing and identifying individuals at high risk of fractures. When you visit the clinic, you’ll receive valuable resources to maintain strong bones, necessary referrals, and convenient refills for bone health prescriptions.
We’re dedicated to simplifying your journey to better bone health, make your appointment today!
