U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Care Act Provisions
The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of critical provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) hopes this ruling will pave the way for Congress, the Administration and the patient community to work together to ensure that ACA implementation will result in a health care delivery system that meets the needs of all people – especially individuals affected by chronic conditions like osteoporosis.
Some of the key reforms that may impact individuals with osteoporosis and low bone density include: prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions; elimination of lifetime caps on coverage; and lowering the cost of prescription medications for seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D experiencing coverage gaps.

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.
