What makes Tiffany Belculfine with the Wellness Center For Bone And Joint Health a good neighbor?

Bone health doesn't have to mean surgery or medications. Tiffany Belculfine, a certified physician assistant since 2007, reveals the innovative work happening at the Wellness Center for Bone and Joint Health at Magee Women's Hospital—where customized, non-surgical approaches are transforming how we think about our skeletal system.
Did you know your bones reach peak strength in your thirties? Most people don't discover this until decades later when problems have already developed. The Wellness Center aims to change this narrative by bringing education and preventive care directly to communities. Through free screening programs that include ultrasound bone density tests, nutrition assessments, fall prevention evaluations, and grip strength measurements, they're making bone health accessible to everyone—not just those who can make it to a doctor's office.
Belculfine busts persistent myths during our conversation, particularly that osteoporosis only affects older women. Men, too, face significant bone health risks but often remain unaware until problems develop. What makes the Wellness Center truly special is their patient-centered approach—creating fully customizable care plans based on what matters most to each individual. "This is not a one-size-fits-all program," Belculfine emphasizes, highlighting how they fill healthcare gaps when traditional medical settings leave questions unanswered. Whether through their main hospital location, satellite offices, or telemedicine options, the center ensures everyone can access the bone and joint health resources they need.
