BETHEL — “Understanding Osteoporosis: Making Sense of New Treatments” will be presented by To Your Health of Western Mountains Senior College from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Bethel Congregational Church, Church Street. This update to a program held two years ago will be given by Laura Cleveland, adult and geriatric nurse practitioner, with Oxford Hills Internal Medicine in Norway.
Cleveland’s talk will cover the basics of osteoporosis, the impact it has on the body and different factors that put one at risk for bone loss, such as body type and other medical conditions. She will discuss the latest treatments, therapies and diet, and will also share ways to exercise to prevent bone loss. A question and answer period will follow.
Admission is free and light refreshments will be available. For more information, call R. Tifft at 824-2053.
