At the Age Well Expo, get plugged in to health and wellness classes; learn how to make your home safer to maintain your independence; learn about resources available to you in Klamath to help you Age Well; receive health screenings by various providers; play games; win prizes and more.  We will also be providing a Vaccination Clinic during the Expo.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend.  The ability to age well starts by creating healthy habits and behaviors in early adulthood. 

Falls are a national public health concern and they are NOT a normal part of aging.  Each year, 1 in 4 Americans aged 65 or older fall.  Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall and every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.  Each year, more than $50 billion is spent on the direct medical costs related to fall injuries.  Falls are costly and common – but they do not have to be.  Take advantage of the upcoming week in September to be falls free and independent.  More details to come.  Keep an eye on the Active Seniors newsletter, on the website, or Facebook for the full schedule of events.
