Boulder Community Health
 

The biggest threat to the independence of an older adult is a simple slip and fall. Each year, about one in three Americans over age 65 will suffer a fall, and more than 27,000 die from their injuries. Many others are left with a permanent disability that threatens their independence. Luckily, many falls can be prevented.

Don’t let a bad fall change your life forever. Join us for a morning of fall prevention classes and health screenings presented by our occupational, speech and physical therapists during the countywide Falls Prevention Week.

When   Friday, Sept. 23, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where   BCH Medical Pavilion
1155 Alpine Ave., Boulder
Gene Wilson Conference Room
(Parking garage entrance on southwest corner of Broadway and Alpine.)
