Lectures with Road Scholar: Age Well: Preventing Falls - Practical Steps for Safer Aging
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, but many are preventable with the right knowledge and preparation. Join us for this practical, expert-led lecture with geriatrician Dr. Nakeisha Rodgers to better understand fall risks and how to reduce them. You’ll explore the medical and financial impact of falls, common conditions that increase risk and how geriatric specialists assess fall risk during routine care. Dr. Rodgers will also share clear, actionable strategies to help you “fall-proof” your home and support safer, more confident aging - for yourself or a loved one.
A viewing of the online lecture will be held in the Event Center at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session.
