Osteoporosis is a disease in which there is a loss of quantity and quality of bone, causing an increased risk of fractures. The best way to prevent the effects of osteoporosis is to find out if you are at a risk and begin preventive measures. Bone scan screening is available on-site at Pioneer Memorial Hospital & Health Services. If you are interested in having a bone scan screening done or have additional questions, call us at 605-326-5201.
