Lynnwood, WALocal News

In recognition of Fall Prevention Awareness Month, the Providence Swedish Trauma Department is collaborating with South County Fire and Emergency Medical Services to host a free virtual fall-prevention symposium. The event is slated for September 25 from 1-3 p. m. and will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, allowing for easy access from the comfort of home. The symposium aims to provide essential information and resources not only to older adults but also to healthcare professionals and caregivers who support them.

Registration is required to attend, ensuring that participants can engage fully with the content presented. Falls represent the number one cause of injury-related hospital visits, making this symposium particularly timely and relevant. By focusing on effective fall prevention strategies, organizers hope to empower attendees to reduce risks within their communities. This initiative highlights the importance of community education and proactive measures in enhancing the safety of the aging population.
