The IGFS is extremely pleased to announce that we have officially become the US Chapter of the Fragility Fracture Network (FFN), FFN USA. This exciting new collaboration will deliver additional educational programming and resources to IGFS members as we strive to advance Geriatric Fracture Care in partnership with the FFN.

In recognition of this partnership, the IGFS has decided to significantly reduce our annual membership dues in an effort to expand our movement throughout the US. Membership in the IGFS is now $50 for all clinicians. And remains free for trainees.
Membership in the FFN is free, so IGFS members will simply have to register for the FFN to start to receive enhanced benefits.
