Fall Safety: Take Steps to Remain Independent Longer

More than one in four older adults falls every year; fewer than half tell their doctor 3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments each year for fall injuries More than 800,000 patients are hospitalized each year because of injuries due to a fall, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture

The 20 Minute Rule

The 20 Minute Rule

Drink water at least every 20 minutes. To prevent heat stress and heat stroke, adults and children should stay hydrated when outside on hot and humid days. It is important to hydrate before you feel thirsty.
