Public Awareness:

Get Active! Texas

The Get Active! Texas public health campaign was started by the Texas Orthopaedic Association to advocate healthier musculoskeletal systems and obesity prevention through increased physical activity. Texas Orthopaedic Association’s public health campaign wanted to stress the importance of movement, instead of staying sedentary, as well as the building bone mass early in life to prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures which are increasingly common late in life.

The Texas Orthopaedic Foundation has taken the Get Active! Texas program further and is collaborating with Texas orthopaedists and community groups to address the importance of movement as it relates to bone density and obesity prevention.
