 COMMUNITY SERVICE & WELLNESS OUTREACH CONTINUED
OWN THE BONE®
Older adults sustain more than two million fractures each year – more than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined.
To prevent fragility fractures, improve fracture- patient care and track improvement, HOI participates in Own the Bone, a national
quality improvement initiative of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA). The AOA has recognized HOI as a “Star Performer” for the last three years for its exceptional compliance rate and commitment to improving patient bone health after a fracture.
At time of publication on www.ownthebone.org, HOI was the only participating Southern California hospital.
WALK TO CURE ARTHRITIS
The Arthritis Foundation’s nationwide event rallies communities and raises funds to conquer arthritis – the No. 1 cause of disability in the U.S., afflicting more than 50 million people.
For the fourth consecutive year, Hoag Orthopedic Institute was the signature sponsor for the May walk that begins at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
