June 2008 - NOF Partners with Arizona Osteoporosis Coalition to Bring Advocacy Workshop to Tempe, Arizona

On June 6, 2008, NOF and the Arizona Osteoporosis Coalition hosted a Strong Voices for Strong Bones Advocacy Training Meeting in Tempe, Arizona. This forum aimed to educate attendees about advocating for better bone health and osteoporosis prevention and treatment with local, state and federal government officials. Participants included healthcare professionals, including those in the areas of exercise and nutrition, volunteers, educators, patients and their families.

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.
