One in four older adults has a fall each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Falls are not a normal part of aging and can be prevented. Elkhorn Logan Valley Public Health will be hosting a VIRTUAL Stepping On series beginning July 12, 2023, at 10:00 am. Participants can take part in the comfort of their own home via their computer (a Zoom connection link will be sent to those who register).
Stepping On gives participants the strategies for avoiding falls including balance and strength exercises, home safety checklist discussions, medication review and more. This class series is designed for people who are age 60 or older to help prevent costly and dangerous falls.
