Suburban Lecture: Practical information to help prevent falls

Fall prevention is an important topic to consider as you get older. Physical changes and health conditions–sometimes the medications used to treat those conditions–make falls more likely as you age. In fact, falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Every year, one out of three adults age 65 and older, experiences an unexpected fall. In most cases, falls can be prevented. Get practical information when this month’s Suburban Lecture addresses fall risks and fall prevention on Wednesday, June 12, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Village Center. A Suburban Hospital physical therapist will share useful changes that can be made at home and while on the move to prevent the incidence of falls. This talk is offered by Suburban Hospital in partnership with the Friendship Heights Village Center.
