The Brookfield Chair in Fracture Prevention was established in March 2020. It is the world’s first university chair in fracture prevention.

The Brookfield Chair and Osteoporosis Canada are seeking to connect with clinical teams across the country who are ready to start an FLS in their hospital – but who lack funding for the FLS Nurse salary and other startup costs. 

In March 2024, the Eastern-Urban Zone of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services established the BreakFree Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital funded by the Brookfield Chair in Fracture Prevention.
