Bone Hub

Bone Hub is a free, online educational resource designed to close the knowledge gap for patients managing bone and spine health issues. Everyone, at every age, should think about their bone health.

There is a Global Epidemic of Poor Bone Health and Osteoporosis

Everyone, at every age, should think about their bone health.

1 in 2 women
and 1 in 4 men

50+ years old will break a bone due to osteoporosis.¹

1.5 million fractures

in the spine occur every year in the U.S., which can lead to early death.²

~10 million Americans

have osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk.³

Our Priorities

Patient Education

Our Bone Hub offers easy-to-understand information on risk factors, prevention strategies, and treatment options to support bone strength.

Provider Education

Healthcare professionals can access education opportunities, including free CME courses. Our programs emphasize the importance of early detection and pre-operative treatment.

Research

Targeted surveys of patients and providers to uncover critical knowledge gaps in spine and bone health, driving improved education, treatment, and policy advancements.

Advocacy

Collaboration with medical leaders, policymakers, and industry partners to promote bone health screening protocols, research funding, and innovative treatments for spine-related bone conditions.
