History

Established in 1990.

The Foundation for Osteoporosis Research and Education (FORE) was established in 1990 as a 501© 3 in Oakland, California by members of the medical community and patient volunteers who were beginning to understand the devastating effect of osteoporosis on a population that was living longer. In 2007, FORE launched American Bone Health as a community-​based organization to focus on public education and advocacy.

American Bone Health dramatically increases its impact through the recruiting, training and nurturing of a network of peer educators who provide local programs in their communities to raise awareness and generate healthy actions among consumers to improve bone health and reduce osteoporosis and fractures.

As American Bone Health grows its national network of volunteer peer educators, its leadership in promoting bone health and osteoporosis awareness strengthens.
