Fit and Fall Proof™ classes are going on now. Please contact CDH’s Fit & Fall Proof™ coordinator before attending as space is limited.
- Every 18 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency department for a FALL.
- Every 35 minutes someone in the population dies as a result from their injuries (CDC).
- More than 90% of hip fractures among older adults are a result of a fall.
These sobering statistics are the entire reason the Fit & Fall Proof™ fitness program was created. Fit and Fall Proof™ is designed to help senior citizens prevent injuries and the subsequent loss of independence. Class participants learn simple exercises to increase strength, balance and endurance, which can help prevent accidental trips and falls sometimes associated with age.
