Location: Morningside Community Center, 2400 S. Bahnson Avenue

Most people are aware that the risk for falling increases with age. However, did you know that one in four people 65 and older fall each year? More than 95 percent of hip fractures are caused by older adult falls. Every 20 minutes in the U.S., an older adult dies as a result of a fall. This does not need to be YOU or your loved one! Falls are PREVENTABLE. Join us to discover if you are at risk for a fall and how to keep on Standing Strong. You will complete a free checklist, be observed walking by a nurse or physical/occupational therapist, and receive personalized education and recommendations to prevent a fall. This is a free screening, but registration required online or by calling (605) 367-8222.
