Fall Prevention Day

Falls are a major threat to the health and independence of older adults.  About one out of every 10 falls results in serious injury.  The CDC states that in 2000, the cost for all falls was $19 Billion dollars.

Parmenter Community Health Care, Sudbury Board of Health and Sudbury Senior Center have joined forces to create a free program to help you limit your risk of falling and being seriously injured. Join us to listen and learn about Tai Chi, Yoga; How to better stay on your feet; What increases your risk of falling. Also hear about stories from the front and how  personal emergency response system products may help.

Hope you join us.
