Better Living for Seniors Hillsborough Celebrates National Senior Health & Fitness Day

Local Organization Part of National Event to Promote Healthy Lifestyles for Older Adults

Better Living for Seniors Hillsborough will join an estimated 1,000 local groups across the country to celebrate the 22nd Annual National Senior Health & Fitness Day (NSHFD) on May 27th, 2015. As an official host, BLS Hillsborough will hold a Fall Prevention Education Event called “Staying Balanced INSIDE & OUT” at the Brandon Community Center. Fall prevention is key to maintaining independence for our senior population. One in three Americans age 65+ fall each year. Come to this FREE community event and learn how NOT to be the “one” knocked down! Safety begins at home and we will have everything on hand to show you what you can do to stay more balanced both inside and out. A wide variety of medical experts will also be available to answer your questions about medications, vision, safety risks, balance, physical therapy, hearing, and more. With respected expert speakers, interactive vendor exhibits, hands-on demonstrations, and over $2,000 in prizes to the public -- you won’t want to miss this exciting event!
