Program Description
Event Details
Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones, making them thinner and less dense. This can result in bone fractures, which significantly impact quality of life. Dr. Heidi Roppelt, board-certified rheumatologist at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, will discuss osteoporosis and osteopenia, the causes, as well as diagnosis, treatment and disease management.
