Prevent falls

Falls can happen at any age but those who are older are more vulnerable to falling—and the consequences.

Saint Philip’s Health Cabinet invites everyone to attend a forum 10:15am-11:15am on Sunday, October 23, in the La Paz meeting room. It will address some key topics:

•    Current statistics on falls

•    Four things to do to prevent falls

•    A checklist to find and fix hazards in your home

•    A checklist to assess your risk of falling

•    Tips for making changes to reduce your risk of falling

The forum will be led by Pima Council on Aging’s Jennifer Cain, Falls Prevention Program Coordinator and Karen Ring, Healthy Living Program Director.
