[PSR-News] Fit to a T @ Your Library Pilots in Region

[Michael Miller]

Network Colleagues:

The United States Bone and Joint Decade (USBJD), a multi-disciplinary 
initiative targeting the care of people with musculoskeletal conditions, 
has teamed up with the Public Library Association, the National Network of 
Libraries of Medicine, and the National Library of Medicine to launch "Fit 
to a T @ your library"--a new educational program focusing on bone health 
and osteoporosis prevention for men and women in their mid-40s and older.

Fit to a T is being introduced in select cities and communities throughout 
the country, including Newberry Park, San Diego and Anaheim in the Pacific 
Southwest Region.  Other sites include San Antonio, Seattle, Kansas City, 
Charlevoix (Michigan) and Flint.  These events--a series of free, one-hour 
presentations--will take place during the 2005 United States Bone and Joint 
Decade National Awareness Week (October 12-20) and afterwards during the 
next several months, in local libraries. Noted health care experts, 
osteoporosis patients and library representatives will be on hand to give 
important information and answer questions.

Kelli Ham, Consumer Health Coordinator, is facilitating the launch in our 
region.  For more information on this exciting initiative go to
