This posting reflects a current vacancy
Osteoporosis Canada (OC), a registered charity, is the only national organization serving people affected by osteoporosis. OC works to educate, empower, and support individuals and communities on bone health and in the risk-reduction and treatment of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a highly debilitating condition in which bones become less dense and fracture more easily. It is the single most important cause of fractures among men and women over the age of fifty, and is a highly prevalent and costly condition. One in three women and one in five men will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.
Osteoporosis Canada, with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health, leads the implementation of the Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy (OOS). The mandate of the OOS is to reduce morbidity, mortality, and costs from osteoporotic fractures using a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach that is integrated across health care sectors (osteostrategy.on.ca (about: blank)).
Committed to improving health outcomes for people with osteoporosis and/or with osteoporotic fractures, this position is expected to incorporate best practices in knowledge translation and implement OOS initiatives through collaborative partnerships in communities across Ontario to achieve OOS objectives.
