Twelve participants recently completed “A Matter of Balance” Class which was held in Holstein throughout the month of April.  The class was led by certified volunteer coaches, Nadine Dutler and Beth Ortner.  A Matter of Balance is a fun, interactive, hands-on way to help reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels in older adults who have concerns with falling and their safety.  This program is available through Horn Memorial Public Health.   A Matter of Balance runs for two hours, twice a week, for four weeks.  For more information, contact Horn Public Health at 364.7311.
