Pasadena Village, a nonprofit that supports aging-in-place older adults, invites you to Village Connections on Thursday at 2 pm at the Washington Park Community Center. Socialize over complimentary coffee and tea from 2-2:30 and stay for an engaging presentation or discussion topic led and moderated by fellow adults 50+. Free.
What is it? Why is it important? What can we do to prevent and treat it?
Osteoporosis develops when more bone is broken down than replaced. If you have concerns about developing or treating osteoporosis, join Pasadena Village and Theresa Wong, MD for this educational presentation. Hear how to strengthen your bones and improve your daily living. Bring your questions!
Dr. Wong is a primary care doctor with a specialty in geriatrics, the care of older people. Born and raised in South Pasadena, she completed her medical training at UCSD and UCSF. After working for several years in Seattle, she is thrilled to come home and serve her community. She is the owner and physician of W Geriatrics, a membership-based primary care practice for adults age 60+. Visit her website, wgeriatrics.com, for more details.
