Bone and Joint Health for Life: CBJH Development & Partnerships

By personalizing the care experience to better meet the particular needs of each patient, we believe that we can begin to reduce musculoskeletal disparities and promote improved health and wellness for all people. Exemplifying this belief is the new Center for Bone and Joint Health at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. By pulling together providers, resources, and services that better meet patients’ personal and specific needs, the Center is addressing the crisis threatening to disable a significant portion of the US population and that‘s placing growing, burdensome costs on the healthcare system.

Reducing Disparities in Musculoskeletal Care: Focusing on Bone and Joint Health

Living an active life requires bone and joint health. Musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, inflammatory arthritis, and osteoporosis lessen a person’s quality of life, cause pain and disability, and significantly increase healthcare costs. The threat of limited mobility and disability from chronic pain and weakened bones is concerning for increasingly large portions of the aging US population.
