About this Event
Falls Awareness Month is observed at the beginning of Fall every year. Join our NYP Queens & Weill Cornell Injury Prevention Coordinators Michele Schombs, & Robert Curran, who will introduce topics surrounding older adult falls, such as medications, pre-existing conditions, home environments & available prevention programs. As we age falls are more likely to lead to more significant injuries, but engaging in education can help our older adults understand how to prevent falls, and examine what risks exist that can be changed, to reduce the likelihood a fall might occur. Please join us for one or all of our chats about fall prevention, hosted every Friday during the Fall: September 16, to December 16, 2022, 11:00am-11:30pm.
