Attention Baby Boomers! Join Project Dana’s Mike Hirano for a 60-minute talk to learn how to reduce your risk of falling and how to avoid fall-related injuries. Caregivers are welcome!
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
-Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.
-One-fourth of Americans aged 65+ fall each year.
-Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.
