Strong bones are essential for movement, balance, and overall health. Taking care of your bones at every age can help prevent fractures, osteoporosis, and loss of independence as you get older.

Healthy habits make a difference. Eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D and staying active with weight-bearing activities like walking or strength training help keep bones strong and reduce the risk of falls.

Bone health screenings, such as bone density scans, can help identify risks early. Chinese Hospital and Clinics offers specialty care and guidance to support your bone health at every stage of life.

Hepatitis B is a liver infection that can cause serious health problems if it’s not detected early. Under new CDC screening guidelines, all adults age 18 and older are now recommended to receive a one-time hepatitis B blood test to help identify infection or immunity.

People with ongoing risk factors may need screening more often, and pregnant patients should be screened during every pregnancy. Because many people with hepatitis B have no symptoms, early detection is key to preventing liver disease, liver cancer, and liver failure.

Screening and vaccination are safe, effective ways to protect your health and your loved ones. The hepatitis B vaccine remains essential, and early vaccination provides the strongest protection for infants. www.chinesehospital-sf.org/new-hepatitis-b-screening-guidelines
