June 2009 - NOF Supports Legislation to Protect Patient Access to Osteoporosis Testing
The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) and several other organizations have joined forces on Capitol Hill to gain support for the “Medicare Fracture Prevention and Osteoporosis Testing Act of 2009” S. 769/H.R. 1894 and advocate for making it part of health care reform. On June 9 and 10, 2009, patients, doctors and NOF staff visited Members of Congress to emphasize the need to protect patient access to bone density tests and an educational briefing was also held.
