Some physical concerns and changes may be an inevitable part of aging, but with some education and prevention skills, they can be managed for continued quality of life as we grow older. On Wednesday, September 11, join the Learning on Wednesday session at Kimberling Area Library for “Falls: A Matter of Balance for Well-Being.”
Jenni Nevatt, Community Engagement Specialist for Nutrition and Health, of the University of Missouri Extension, will present important information regarding fall prevention, a common concern as aging may bring loss of body flexibility and awareness. You’ll learn about the impact of falling on families, caregivers and spouses; the most common reasons why falls occur; and how to prevent them. This emphasis on prevention, along with sharing information about local resources, is part of Fall Prevention Month, observed annually in September.
This educational session will be held in the Kimberling Area Library Community Room at 45 Kimberling Blvd., starting at 10:15 a.m. (to avoid conflicting with the local emergency test siren). Coffee and light snacks will be provided; attendance is free; and pre-registration is not required. See you on September 11 as we learn and improve our quality of life together!
