Dr Kohlmeier Discusses Osteoporosis with Sally Field

Dr Kohlmeier had the opportunity to speak with Sally Field in Seattle at the Flower and Garden Show Feb 23rd. With the support of Roche and GSK Pharmaceuticals, the two-time Academy Award and three-time Emmy Award winning actress is promoting osteoporosis awareness around the country.

Sally is sharing her story of osteoporosis, and the importance of bone density testing, safe exercise and healthy outdoor activities like gardening. Sally, now 61 years old, says she is taking care of the 'one body she has', keeping her bones strong by taking calcium and vitamin D supplements and her osteoporosis medication. We hope to see Sally Field at the Triathlon for Osteoporosis, August 17th in Medical Lake, Washington!
