This service aims to proactively identify kōeke who have had a fracture which may lead to or have been caused by osteoporosis.
We can offer support for:
- Kōeke aged 50 and over.
- Who have experienced a fracture or broken bone.
We can organise an initial meeting to have you referred for a DEXA scan:
- to check to see if you have or are at risk of Osteoporosis
- to check the density and strength of your bones
- Our initial visit with you is where we learn of your experience and work towards a recovery and management plan
If eligible, these are some of the things we can assist you with:
- Referrals to QE Health services
- Hauora and nutrition
- Organise transportation for appointments
- Connect you with other health services
