Concerns about the large toll that bone diseases are inflicting on the nation has led the Surgeon General to launch a major campaign aimed at improving bone health. A core component of this campaign was the Surgeon General's Workshop on Osteoporosis and Bone Health, held December 12th and 13th of 2002 in Washington, DC. This meeting served as an opportunity for key stakeholders to provide input on the most important priorities for The Surgeon General's Report on Osteoporosis and Bone Health, to be released in 2004.
