Enhancing balance and preventing falls
Falls are preventable, yet they remain a leading cause of ER visits for older adults. Join the Trauma injury prevention team at Scripps for a free community event focused on protecting your health and independence.
Attendees can take part in fall risk assessments, balance and gait classes, blood pressure and stroke screenings, and medication reviews by a clinical pharmacist. Explore community resources, tour our facility, and learn how to stay mobile and drive safely for longer. Don’t miss this opportunity to safeguard your health and independence — bring a friend or caregiver and take control of your fall prevention journey.
