January 2009 - NOF Partners with Local Group to Bring Advocacy Workshop to Albuquerque, New Mexico
On January 16, 2009 NOF and the New Mexico Healthy Aging Collaborative hosted a Strong Voices for Strong Bones Advocacy Training Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At this workshop, attendees from around the state learned about advocating for better bone health and osteoporosis prevention and treatment with local, state and federal government officials. The meeting was well attended by health professionals; community leaders working with families and the elderly and Native American populations across the state; local and state government staff who work on public health, wellness and aging issues; and people with or at risk of osteoporosis and their families.
