Halifax Health has launched a comprehensive Falls Prevention and Assessment Program, available at local YMCA locations.
This program is designed to help older adults prevent falls that can lead to serious injuries or deaths, according to a press release. The program consists of three parts: a free online assessment, an in-person comprehensive assessment and then community offered interventions.
Halifax Health has partnered with Palmer Chiropractic Clinic, Brooks Rehabilitation, Atlantic Hearing and the Volusia Flagler YMCA to bring this program to the community.
"At the YMCA, we are dedicated to providing classes and interventions that support our members in leading healthy, active lives," said Maddi Scheipeter, Halifax Healthy Living coordinator at the YMCA. "Our falls assessments, education, and classes are designed not just to strengthen the body but to empower individuals with the skills and confidence they need to avoid falls. A thorough falls assessment is essential for anyone who feels unsteady or uncertain about their balance, and we are here to support them every step of the way."
