Description

BHCHS Outreach Services helped to host a presentation that would build additional awareness on falls and trauma associated with seniors who have obstructions and hazards within their home environment. Falls can lead to severe injury and fractures in various parts of a senior's body. Therefore, informing seniors of actions that they can take to abate fall hazards, is critically important toward preventing falls and trauma in their residences. Broward Health North, Annie L Weaver Health Center and Margate Health Center are two access points that can help assist seniors requiring more information on fall prevention and addressing traumatic injuries.
