Prevent Your Worst Accident: Falls
Dr. Douglas Koltun will speak on Sunday, February 22nd at 1:30 about how to prevent falls from which many people never fully recover.
Every year over 250,000 Americans suffer a hip fracture. Within a year, 1-in-5 dies. And of those who survive, nearly half never fully recover and require long-term nursing care.
Dr. Douglas Koltun of Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn will explain how you can prevent falls. He is a physiatrist, a physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation - a specialty to improve function and mobility.
The event will take place on Sunday afternoon, February 22nd at 1:30 at B’nai Yehuda Beth Sholom, 1424 W. 183rd Street in Homewood. There is no charge and refreshments will follow the presentation. If you have any questions, you can call (708) 799-4110.
