Horn Memorial Public Health will be holding Matter of
Balance Classes at Horn Memorial Hospital beginning October 15.
Many
older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often
limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk
of falling even greater. A Matter of Balance is a program designed to reduce the
fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. It includes eight two-hour sessions for a small group of 8-12
participants led by trained facilitators.
Classes will be held October 15 through November 8, Mondays and Thursdays
from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
To sign up or for more information, please call Erin
Dausel at Horn Memorial Public Health at 712-364-7311.
