Falls and their related injuries are a leading cause of mortality after age 65. As we age our risk of falling increases. When older adults fall, they tend to get injured and rapidly lose muscle mass and mobility. All too often, they do not recover. Join Dr. Steven D. Rauch – clinician, educator and author – for a potentially lifesaving discussion of how we balance, why we fall and concrete measures that each of us can take to reduce our falls risk.
Steven D. Rauch is Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School and the former Chief of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Vestibular Division and Director of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Balance and Vestibular Center.
This Zoom webinar is presented as part of Beacon Hill Village’s Living Well Ending Well series in partnership with the Boston Public Library. Registration required online or by calling 617-723-9713. Registrants will receive a link the day before the event.
