Stay Balanced Bruceton is a wellness event for seniors with an emphasis on balance and fall safety. Staff members of Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital performed balance tests for seniors at North Preston Senior Center and provided information on fall safety and home exercise to improve balance.
“Falls are the most common source of traumatic injury in older adults and can lead to severe injury,” said Ashley Jose, Physical Therapist at Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital. “This is why screening for balance in our community is of utmost importance. If people know their risk of falls before one happens, they are more able to prevent them."
Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital seeks to enhance the health of the communities it serves, one person at a time. To learn more about upcoming community events and health screenings hosted by the hospital, visit MonHealth.com/HealthFair.
