Ladies, did you know being female is one of the biggest risk factors for osteoporosis?

Here are some eye-opening facts from the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation:

• 80% of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women
• 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis
• A woman's risk of breaking a hip equals her combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer

Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease," but the impact is anything but quiet. Give OGHS Women's Health Clinic a call at (337)-678-4862 to take action and know what's next.

Day 5 of Hospital Week was a scone to remember!

Our team got to start their day with a little extra joy by picking their favorite scone for breakfast. From sweet to savory, there was something for everyone and plenty of smiles to go around.

Thank you to our amazing staff for everything you do each day. We hope this small treat added a little brightness to your morning! 💙
