NOF’s Online Health Community
NOF’s online health community uses the Internet to bring people with osteoporosis together. If you don’t live near an existing support group or don’t know anyone with similar concerns about their bone health, the members of NOF’s online community can serve as a great source of support and a channel to learn more about living with the disease.
The online health community includes blogs, individual web pages, discussions, message boards and more. One of the ways members can expand their social network within the community is by creating personal profile. To help people find and connect with others in similar situations, the NOF online health community links members by gender, the topics in which they are interested and where they live. The discussions are categorized by topic, making it easy for members to find topics that interest them.
Because health issues are private, security measures have been put in place to ensure that members have control over their personal information, such as hiding their full name and email address from others. To prevent inappropriate content, discussions are moderated and there is a community help desk.
Participation is open to people concerned about their bone health, patients with osteoporosis, caregivers, family members and health professionals.
Sign up today – it’s free to join the conversation. Once you’re a member of the online community, you can start meeting new people, following popular discussions, joining discussions on topics of interest and sharing information you’d like to pass along to others.
