The Osteoporosis's Resource page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation. It is intended to provide information on Osteoporosis and to streamline and simplify the way those with Osteoporosis may find assistance paying for their medications.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) is the leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life and reducing human suffering through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy and research. Established in 1984, BHOF is the nation's only health organization solely dedicated to osteoporosis and bone health.

Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 54 million Americans. Studies show that one in two women and up to one in four men over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime. NOF works to improve patient care and support for those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis and to educate the public to prevent osteoporosis and broken bones and promote strong bones for life.
