Standing Stronger: Fall Prevention Workshop - La Jolla

Falls are preventable, but they continue to be the leading cause of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for older adults. In recognition of National Falls Prevention Awareness Week, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla invites you to join us for an engaging and educational event designed to help you significantly reduce your risk of falling.

Katrina DeLeon, MD, geriatric medicine division head at Scripps Clinic, will deliver a comprehensive presentation on fall prevention strategies to help keep older adults safe. Her empowering talk will give you the tools and knowledge to take proactive steps to lower your fall risk — or assist a loved one in doing so.

This interactive event features:

•   Balance improvement classes: Participate in exercises designed to enhance stability and coordination.
•   Fall risk assessments: Work with physical therapists to evaluate your risk and receive expert advice.
•   Health screenings: Get your blood pressure checked and assess your stroke risk.
•   Medication reviews: Consult with clinical pharmacists to learn how your medications may impact your fall risk.
•   Resource and vendor fair: Explore products, services and community resources to support your safety and well-being.

Join us to gain valuable insights, connect with Scripps experts and take steps toward a safer tomorrow.
