Falls Prevention

Fall Prevention Awareness

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among seniors. As a council member, I've had the honor to host Falls Prevention Awareness Day events annually since 2020. The programs include exercises to improve our strength and balance as well as other tools and tips aimed at helping seniors prevent falls. Before and after the program, seniors have the chance to visit with local service organizations, agencies, and city departments. Last year, nearly 100 seniors gathered at two locations over two days in both Kashmere Gardens and Clear Lake.
