September 2008 - NOF Hosts Congressional Families Luncheon
NOF hosted a luncheon on September 23, 2008 for the families of Members of Congress as well as other community leaders to educate them on bone health and osteoporosis. This event featured a panel discussion moderated by Susan Dentzer, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs, and panelist speakers: Dr. Ethel S. Siris, M.D., immediate past president of NOF; Janet Hubert, actress and celebrity patient; and Rear Admiral John Eisold, M.D., attending physician of the U.S. Congress.
The event was attended by over 100 guests, including spouses of Members of Congress, senior military, political leaders and senior women leaders in the social, cultural, public policy and philanthropic communities of Washington, D.C. NOF thanks Mrs. Barbara Levin, Mrs. Jeanne Warner, Mrs. Helen Green, Mrs. Sandie Knollenberg and Mrs. Sheila Casey for co-chairing this event.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation has named Barbara Hannah Grufferman as its first Bone Health Ambassador. In this newly-established role, Grufferman, a well-known advocate for healthy and positive living, will dedicate her time, talent and energy to raise awareness for osteoporosis and the importance of building strong bones for life.
Thanks to a generous gift from The Samuel J. & Ethel LeFrak Charitable Trust, the National Osteoporosis Foundation met its Generations of Strength fundraising goal one year early. NOF launched the Generations of Strength initiative in September 2011 with the goal of raising $2 million in two years to improve patient care for the most vulnerable – those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis – and to protect future generations from the disease.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), the nation’s leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, has named Claire Gill as its Senior Director of Marketing, Consumer and Corporate Outreach. Gill brings extensive experience in public relations and marketing communications to this newly-established role.
