Due to popular demand, the Community Outreach Committee of the MyMichigan Health Foundation Development Council serving Alpena, has added a second presentation of Osteoporosis and Bone Density by Eric Cornish, M.D. The presentation will take place on Nov. 10, at noon in the Auditorium of MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena.

During the lecture, Dr. Cornish will review the importance of bone health including risk factors, screening guidelines, and why early detection is so important, particularly for those most at risk such as women and the elderly. He will also discuss prevention strategies, including nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes. Attendees will gain practical guidance to help protect their bones by maintaining their strength, mobility and general health while understanding the risks of not doing so.
