    Collapse overview
    Wendee Gozansky, MD, MPH, is a clinician investigator at the Institute for Health Research as well as an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Geriatrics at the University of Colorado Denver. Her research interests centered on improving the health of older adults are a natural extension of her work as an internist/geriatrician with the Kaiser Continuing Care Department. Her primary research focus on fracture prevention is exploring how to optimize use of bone mineral density testing, prevent falls, and improve adherence with drug therapy for osteoporosis.
