Joining Forces to Improve the Bone Health of Women
Washington, DC (June 3, 2009) – The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) (www.nof.org), the nation’s leading voluntary health organization solely dedicated to osteoporosis and bone health and EmpowHer, the home of women’s health online, (www.empowher.com), are working together in a formal collaboration to advance women’s health. As part of their innovative partnership, NOF and EmpowHer will increase awareness of osteoporosis and bone health. The two organizations will reach women through EmpowHer’s online community, NOF’s web site, e-Newsletter mentions and reciprocal Web site linking.
“There are an estimated 44 million Americans with or at risk for osteoporosis,” said Leo Schargorodski, Executive Director of the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). “NOF is proud to partner with EmpowHer to help increase awareness of osteoporosis and bone health and provide many of these individuals with information, resources and a forum for dialogue about the disease.”
"EmpowHer is thrilled to partner with the National Osteoporosis Foundation," said Michelle King Robson, Founder and Chairman of EmpowHer. "Their longstanding dedication to improving the bone health of women through increased research, education and advocacy is making a tremendous impact on women around the world. This is exactly the type of partnership that helps improve the health and well-being of the women in EmpowHer’s global audience."
