Fall Prevention Program

Did you know that 1 in 3 older adults will fall each year, and 1 in 5 falls results in a serious injury such as a broken bone or a head injury?

Catherine Dunckley, a Certified Health Education Specialist at North Shore University Hospital,will discuss topics related to fall prevention, including muscle weakness and balance issues, vision problems, the use of medications, proper footwear and home and community hazards.

After the presentation, Ms. Dunckley will demonstrate Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese tradition consisting of gentle movements.  Tai Chi can help to improve balance, reduce pain and stress while promoting inner peace and serenity.
