Osteoporosis program

Osteoporosis (or porous bone) is a disease in which bones lose mass and become so fragile that even a slight strain or minor fall could cause them to break. The condition currently affects 10 million Americans. Eight of every 10 of them are women.

At Coney Island Hospital, Primary Care Physicians refer their patients to the Department of Radiology for a Bone Density Test. After the test, the patient gets an appointment to see the Osteoporosis Specialist, who will provide the patient with the results of the test and will discuss available treatment options.

DIRECTIONS

Southern Brooklyn has long been a Mecca to new immigrants. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was ethnic Jews, Irish and Italians who settled here. In the 50s and 60s, African-Americans migrated from the South to live and work in New York City. Many settled in Coney Island where there was newly constructed affordable housing. From the late 1970s through the early 1990s, Brighton Beach became known as Little Odessa because it became the home of refugees fleeing religious and political persecution in the former Soviet Union. In the last 10 years, immigrants from many parts of the world have made southern Brooklyn their home as they sought a better life for themselves and their children.
