Project Healthy Bones is a 24-week exercise and education program for older women and men at risk for, or who have osteoporosis.
The program includes exercises that target the body’s larger muscle groups to improve strength, balance and flexibility. The 24-week curriculum includes sessions on the importance of exercise, nutrition, safety, drug therapy and lifestyle factors. Lead Coordinators from local health departments, county offices on aging, Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs (RSVPs) and other community-based organizations coordinate the program at the local level and oversee program delivery and training for peer leaders.
The program is offered at community sites throughout the state.
If your agency is interested in having staff training as Lead Coordinators, holding a Project Healthy Bones class, or for information on how to find a class in your area, please call the Office of Community Resources, Education and Wellness at 609-438-4797.
