That’s right, your T-score. If you had to think twice
about what a T-score is—and no, it’s not a golf
term— chances are you’re not alone.
It’s all about your bones. If you want to shop ‘til you
drop, golf ‘til your legs ache and line dance ‘til you’re
84 – knowing that your bones won’t let you down—
here’s what you need to know.
Dr. Richard Uhl, chair of the Department of
Orthopedic Surgery at Albany Medical Center
will conduct this bone health and osteoporosis
education program, for men and women of all
ages.
Wednesday, October 10 at 1pm at the Malta Branch
