Message from the MEC/OBD president:

"As president, I have committed my company to providing medical facilities with "state-of-the-art" bone densitometry equipment to help them do a better job with preventing, testing for, screening for, detecting, diagnosing, and treating Osteoporosis which ravage so many women and men. Our diagnostic equipment will speed up the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of Osteoporosis and osteoporotic bone disorders in men and women. The key to preventing Osteoporosis in women and men is early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. This means measuring, testing, screening, detecting, and diagnosing low bone mass in women and men early in their lifetimes so that effective treatment can stop the Osteoporosis dead in its tracks." Together, we can help protect families from this terrible disease.

Sincerely,
Mark Piening
