Fall Prevention Symposium "Take a Stand Against Falls"

Description

Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, unintentional injuries, and hospital admissions for trauma. Falls can take a serious toll on older adults’ quality of life and independence. That’s why we’re offering some help in preventing falling concerns with our upcoming Fall Prevention Symposium. Join us for a lunch to learn more about actions you can take to reduce your risk for falls and injuries. Lunch is provided with registration.

Better Methods to Prevent Falling; Dr. Juna Misiri, Cardiologist, Electrophysiologist will speak on Afib and Falling Concerns and Brandi Conley, LECOM Pharmacy Student will discuss Medication’s Role in Fall Injuries.
