October 20^th is World Osteoporosis Day. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones that are more prone to fractures. Information and treatment for osteoporosis is severely lacking, especially in Central Illinois. The key to treating osteoporosis is prevention, which begins with screening. 

May is Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month and at NP Women’s Health we provide care for women with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Kelly Cole and Sarah Tucker are Fracture Liaison Certified providers and would love to discuss bone health with you!

This month we are dedicating our blog post to the topic of stress management. As women, we understand that we live with a constant undercurrent of stress in our lives.
