Are you looking to:

• Build on existing bone mass and prevent future bone loss
• Help maintain bone mass as you age
• Prevent fractures

Then this class is for you!

BONE BUILDERS is an exercise program designed to help individuals aged 65+ maintain bone mass and build on existing bone mass but is open to all. Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for more than 44 million Americans, 80% of whom are women. A "silent disease," bone loss usually occurs without symptoms. People may not know they have osteoporosis until their bones become so fragile that a fracture occurs.

This program will feature light exercises with hand weights with instruction provided by trained CCE Volunteer - Joy Mendelsohn, MD.

This program will take place weekly on Thursdays 11 am - 12 pm, September 10th - November 19th, 2026 at the Western Sullivan Public Library Community Room in Jeffersonville.

Bring a water bottle, floor mat or towel, and your own 1-2 lb. weights!

The Caregiver Resource Center is a co-partnered program between Cornell Cooperative Extension and Office for the Aging of Sullivan County and is supported by a grant from the NYS Office for the Aging’s Caregiver Program.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County provides equal program and employment opportunities. Contact the office to request accommodations.
