National Falls Prevention Day

September is National Falls Prevention Month and Friday, September 22, 2017, the first day of fall, is National Falls Prevention Awareness Day! Join McLaren Northern Michigan for a day of events promoting the health and well-being of our older adults, as they are at a high risk for falls and unintentional injuries. The day of events is FREE for all individuals. We want to promote different activities that will give guidance and information to prevent falls from happening in the future, along with all that we offer through McLaren Northern Michigan and the John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion and Dialysis Center.
