Learn About Falls Prevention! |
Hi friends!
Join us online today at 1:30pm EDT for a special Wellness Wednesday session:
Steps to Better Balance and Falls Prevention
Most falls are preventable; they are NOT a normal part of aging! If you are afraid of falling, have fallen in the past, or are interested in maintaining the good balance you currently have, join Josy Delaney, MPH, MS, public health educator and Tai Chi teacher, for a discussion of the many actions that can be taken to prevent falls: understanding medication side-effects, regular vision check-ups, home safety assessments, exercise, and proper use of assistive devices. Various resources will be presented for participants to create their own personal falls-prevention action plan.
See you online, |
