The Center's certified, trained and highly experienced nurse clinicians perform one-on-one consultations, reviewing test results, lifestyle, risk factors and medical history. Following the consult, the nurse clinician collaborates with the Center's specialists or the patient's personal physician to develop a plan of osteoporosis prevention personally tailored to each patient's current situation. 516-663-2772

Winthrop's Home Osteoporosis Program of Education (HOPE) is a course in assessing, treating and living with osteoporosis. It provides participants with personalized tools and direction for gaining control over the disease and keeping it from interfering with activities, such as remaining active with family and friends, and pursuing hobbies and interests.
Center physicians and nurses - specialists in osteoporosis - are dedicated to increasing the understanding of the disease. They welcome opportunities to address professional and civic groups about all aspects of osteoporosis.
