We envision a world where osteoporosis-related fractures are rare. These types of fractures can alter lifestyles, yet too many people go without the diagnosis and care they need.
The OAN is transforming osteoporosis education into action on a national level by uniting healthcare professionals, organizations, and at-risk populations. We’re closing gaps in care and helping people Stand Bone Strong.
The Osteoporosis Action Network is a coalition of medical, advocacy, and health system leaders focused on improving osteoporosis awareness and care. We’re united around a shared goal: to prevent 3 million fractures by 2033.
Together, we’re elevating recognition of the real-world barriers that stand in the way of secondary fracture prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, then addressing them by spreading awareness about osteoporosis and inspiring action.
2 million
osteoporosis fractures occur each year in the U.S.1
500,000
osteoporosis fractures result in hospitalization1
83%
of people remain undiagnosed 1 year after a fracture2
88%
of people remain untreated 1 year after a fracture2
5x
how much more likely patients are to suffer another fracture within a year3
It’s time to address the barriers that impede better osteoporosis diagnosis and care.
Join us in working toward a future where osteoporosis-related fractures are rare.
