COLEBROOK, NH, June 16, 2025 – The Imaging Service Department of Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital (UCVH), a proud partner of North Country Healthcare (NCH), has recently expanded its health and wellness services available to men and women with the addition of the Horizon™ bone densitometry system from Hologic.
Osteoporosis is a growing healthcare crisis affecting millions of women and men worldwide. The healthcare costs associated with osteoporosis are staggering, and the effect on your patient’s quality of life can be devastating. Only about 10% of women over the age of 65 have normal bone mass. 77 percent of American women with osteoporosis are undiagnosed (and therefore untreated).1 Fortunately, osteoporosis is detectable and treatable and testing is safe and non-invasive.
The imaging technology of the Horizon® DXA system provides superb image quality with advanced diagnostic tools to support early detection and treatment of osteoporosis. Horizon enables new dimensions in care, including greater insights into biomechanical strength, visualization of calcification in the abdominal aorta that can indicate heart disease, lumbar spine and proximal femur studies, BMD measurements of the entire skeleton, atypical femur fracture (AFF) assessment, and many other clinical applications.
UCVH’S Imaging Services provides a comprehensive scope of services addressing the physical, emotional and educational needs of our clients. Each and every patient receives personalized care designed to meet his or her individual needs. Our staff is committed to providing exceptional care to the people in our community.
