World Osteoporosis Day 2006 events in USA headquarters

To mark World Osteoporosis Day, Lilly set up a BMD booth on the Faris Campus in Indianapolis on October 10, 2006. The booth, which included a GE-Lunar Peripheral Instantaneous X-Ray Imager, was operated by professionals from the Indiana University Osteoporosis Care Center, including consultation nurses and technicians. Employees were invited to have their bone density measured, and then received a report that gave their value in range for age and gender. They also received IOF education pamphlets and a ticket for a free carton of milk.

Bone Appétit - Osteoporosis Day at Lilly event was also a day of nominations and recognition for the US/Global Osteoporosis Team whereby individuals were encouraged to recognize a peer, team or manager for their work. Marcel Lechanteur, Chair of IOF's CCA, and Executive Director of Lilly's U.S. Osteoporosis Business Unit, was there to close the event by giving an update on the IOF's Vision, Missions, and Goals.

The event was a huge success and was well received with more than 100 women having their bone density measured throughout the day.
