Building Better Balance Falls Risk Screening

Location: 
Ashe County Public Library, West Jefferson, NC

Join us on Wednesday, September 21st from 9-11am for a Building Better Balance Falls Risk Screening.  The screening will help raise awareness among older adults about the prevalence of falls and how to prevent them.  We will also connect participants with community resources and provide tools for discussion with healthcare providers.  After the screening is complete, we will lead the group through a short Tai Chi session.  Tai Chi has been approved by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as one of the best community-based interventions to help improve strength and balance and decrease the risk of falls among older adults.  Contact Glenda Luther at the Ashe County Senior Center for additional informaion (336) 246-4347.
