Healthcare workers at Silver Cross Hospital will conduct an osteoporosis screening throughout the afternoon. Osteoporosis causes bones to become fragile and more likely to break. Women are four times more likely than men to develop the disease. Using ultrasound to detect the risk of osteoporosis, the hospital measures the bone mineral density of the heel. The fee is $10.
