In 2005 the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care announced Ontario’s and Canada’s first Osteoporosis Strategy. The goal of the Strategy is to reduce hip fractures and other osteoporotic fractures in Ontario.
The OOS represents the vision and coordinated efforts of many groups, including the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), Osteoporosis Canada, Ontario College of Family Physicians, McMaster University, Women’s College Hospital and St. Michael’s Hospital.
