On September 23, 2024, Jess Griffith, Safe Kids Washington County Co-Coordinator and EMS/Injury Prevention Specialist at Meritus Health, was on Midday Maryland to share about Falls Prevention and demonstrate a few balance activities.
With the start of the fall season, it’s important to remind ourselves how we can prevent falls and keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.
Falls can happen to anyone, regardless of age. Strength and balance exercises for seniors and baby or toddler proofing your home for new walkers are good tips to keep in mind. Additionally, make sure the home has adequate lighting so everyone can see where they’re going, and keep stairs free of items and other clutter that could post a risk.
Thank you Jess for being on Midday Maryland and sharing about Falls Prevention!
