Join us for a one-time, interactive presentation designed to support healthy aging and reduce the risk of falls, the leading cause of trauma for older adults in Sonoma County.This session begins with an introduction to Age-Friendly Healthcare, a national initiative from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that’s changing how we care for older adults.
You'll learn the 4M Framework, a simple, powerful approach to improving health conversations with your doctor, and receive a take-home worksheet to guide those discussions.
From there, we’ll shift to practical strategies for fall prevention, including:
~ Identifying common fall risks at home and in the community
~ Behavior changes that reduce your risk of injury
~ Simple, effective exercises to build strength and balance
~ Emergency preparedness tips tailored for older adults
This is a great opportunity to build awareness, gain confidence, and take control of your health in a supportive environment.
