Bone Builders Training Available in Tucson and Phoenix

Many people believe that osteoporosis is something that only happens to older people. In fact, this disease is often described as a childhood disease with old-age outcomes.

One in every two women and one in every eight men will suffer osteoporosis-related fractures in their lifetime. Often, people don't realize they have osteoporosis until a bone breaks.

Awareness and prevention are critical in combating osteoporosis. Volunteers are needed to teach others about reducing the risks.

It only takes a few hours a month to become a Bone Builders volunteer and make a difference in the health of women. A medical background is not required, but a willingness to learn and to teach others is.

After training, volunteers teach, help at health fairs, staff displays and share health information with others in their workplace, church or community.
