Why CHOF Matters

Recent studies show a dramatic rise in osteoporosis among Latinos, California’s fastest-aging population.

However, CHOF’s research in similar demographic areas over last two years indicate that osteoporosis is under-diagnosed in Hispanic populations and that there is a greater incidence of low-bone density among Latinos than had ever been reported.

These trends make CHOF an indispensable part of the national healthcare landscape. CHOF’s current programs include culturally appropriate prevention education, grassroots outreach providing heel BMD screenings with the Consulate General of Mexico, physician and Promotora (community health workers) training regarding osteoporosis treatment and management, creating linguistically appropriate educational materials, public policy and advocacy, social marketing to educate the community and increase attendance for screenings, and – ultimately – to prevent this debilitating disease that can result in fatal outcomes.

Mission
