When a 20 year-old falls, we don't panic. We're confident they'll be be just fine.
When a 50 year-old falls, we tend to be a bit concerned for a moment, or two... Still, they usually get up, brush themselves off, and slide right back into the business of living.
But when an 80-year old falls, we know something serious has happened. We know they probably won't be "just fine." We know they may be badly hurt - and that helping them get back to "the business of living" is likely to be a painful, arduous process... if it's possible at all.
The good news? There's a lot we can do to help prevent elder falls.
That's why we hope you'll be able to join us this Friday, October 16th, for an information-rich Grand Rounds with Dr. Denise Bender: "Interventions Related to Falls" (12:15 - 1:00).
Save this email and click here Friday just before 12:15 to go directly to the presentation page.
It's true: "knowledge is power." If less than an hour of outstanding education on this critical topic can prevent just one elder fall, isn't it more than worth the time?
Well, the more educated we all become on this topic, the more we'll be able to share what we know with others. End result?
Significantly fewer falls for our elders.
We hope you can make it... have a good week.Michelle StewartSenior Project Asst. / OkGEC405-271-8130michelle-stewart@ouhsc.edu
