Falls are a leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in older Americans. Each year, more than one in four adults aged 65 and older experience a fall. This results in 3 million emergency department visits for fall injuries, and over 800,000 hospitalizations.
However, you don’t have to accept falls as an inevitable part of aging.
At this fall prevention clinic, you’ll receive one-on-one consultations, including:
- Assessment and screening for your fall risk factors
- Individual recommendations to improve your balance and strength
- A review of your prescription medications, by a pharmacist, to screen for side effects that can cause falls
