Currently, they provide over 400 DEXA scans per year at\u00a0the hospital to diagnose osteoporosis<\/a>. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, as well as structural changes, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break.

The Hospital Staff create and donate many beautiful gift baskets for the Silent Auction along with terrific donations from local businesses. The Live Auction will feature uniquely decorated live and artificial Christmas trees, wreaths, center pieces, and mantle pieces. Other Live Auction items will be a New England Shrimp Boil Experience for a lucky bidder and 7 of their friends, a John Deere Kids Pedal Tractor, a stunning original canvas print from Dutton\u2019s Valley Gallery, and a pair of Vikings Tickets!<\/p>\n
