If you’re like most people, you’re pretty careful about avoiding a fall. But there are some factors you may not be aware of that can influence your fall risk. Stepping On addresses those factors and arms you with the information and strategies you need to avoid a fall.
Wisconsin is ranked number one in the nation for falls that lead to death among older adults. More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling. The Kenosha County Aging & Disability Resource Center wants to change those statistics with Stepping On!
