Osteoporosis is a significant health problem that becomes more frequent as women age. Women have a 50 percent chance of developing osteoporosis if preventive measures are not taken. At Saint John's, helping to prevent and treat osteoporosis is a major concern. The endocrine/bone disease program at Saint John's is designed to comprehensively assess and treat osteoporosis. Taking just a few minutes can help to determine a woman's need for care using a bone densitometer, which measures bone density using low dose radiation. These measurements can help determine low bone density as well as monitor therapy.
The cost of the screening is $94.50.
