About the Own the Bone® Educational
Alliance
Own the Bone is a program of the American Orthopaedic
Association (AOA) supported in part through the Own the Bone
Educational Alliance. The Own the Bone Educational Alliance
was established to raise awareness of the treatment gap and to
simplify the identification, evaluation and treatment of
osteoporosis in patients after a fragility fracture in order to
prevent future fractures.
The Own the Bone Educational Alliance allows for and recognizes
organizations who desire to make a significant impact to physician
and patient education in conjunction with Own the Bone. This impact
can be made in a variety of ways, including but not limited to,
financial and educational support for Own the Bone and significant
educational initiatives conducted in concert with the Own the Bone
program.
The Own the Bone Educational Alliance:
- Is non-commercial and exists to conduct and produce general
(not product specific) educational activities.
- Does not endorse any products, treatments, companies, or
organizations.
Educational Alliance members must sign an agreement with the
American Orthopaedic Association defining parameters of the
Educational Alliance and members must provide a multi-year
commitment.
Please contact the AOA for additional

The AOA is pleased to announce that Amgen has

Not-for-Profit organizations wishing to participate as a
member of the Organizational Alliance contribute in-kind resources
to educational or communication initiatives tied to Own the Bone's
central mission of identifying, evaluating and treating patients
with osteoporotic-related fragility fractures.
