Northwest Florida Fall Prevention Coalition's February meeting

I moved from Sacramento, CA to Pensacola, FL shortly before Thanksgiving and there haven't been many fall prevention opportunities in the local community until now.  I am so excited that the Northwest Florida fall prevention coalition meets the first Tuesday of the month at the Sacred Heart Cancer Center.  Meetings are held on the third floor from noon-1pm.  

I am so excited to meet local fall prevention enthusiasts and hopefully plan some future community events.  I would love to offer my dynamic, educational fall prevention workshop to older adults throughout Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.  However my ultimate goal is to offer my 4- or 6-week version of the FallProof™ balance and mobility training classes that I taught in Sacramento county for over seven years.  

The Stepping On fall prevention program, in which I am a master trainer and can train other staff members, is an evidence-based program that would be an excellent collaborative effort with local community experts.  Starting a seven-week pilot program for seniors would be a great opportunity to not only work within my new community but also benefit older residents living in the community.  

So excited for all things fall prevention and balance training in Pensacola.

Blessings~
