Lake Health’s Osteoporosis Clinics at West Medical Center and TriPoint Medical Center provide advanced multidisciplinary care for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. The clinics, in partnership with the American Orthopaedic Association’s Own the Bone Program, offer comprehensive evaluation, screening and treatments, including patient education in the areas of nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, and medication focused on the prevention and management of osteoporosis. The primary goal of the clinics is to help patients prevent fractures by stopping or slowing bone loss, maintaining bone strength and eliminating factors that contribute to falls.
The Osteoporosis Clinics also provide technical and clinical excellence in the field of bone mass measurement testing. Both locations are equipped with DEXA machines – the most advanced technology for scanning weak/porous bones.
The clinics are open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm. A physician referral is required. For more information, call 440-354-1802 (TriPoint) or 440-953-6030 (West).
