Why was the BJH SCN created?

Bone and joint health conditions, such as osteoporosis and arthritis, are among the greatest challenges facing Canada’s health care system. Although not always life threatening, they are the world’s leading causes of disability and can substantially impact quality of life for patients and caregivers.

As Alberta’s population grows and lives longer, the demand for better bone and joint health care is essential.

By bringing together patients and families, researchers and clinicians the BJH SCN builds the expertise and resources to improve care and reduce the impact of bone and joint health issues.
