We are proud to highlight the incredible work of our Doctor of Physical Therapy students who recently partnered with St. Anthony’s Catholic Church to develop and deliver a Fall Prevention Program for parishioners.

This comprehensive program included:
✅ Safe Falling Techniques – empowering participants to minimize injury if a fall occurs
✅ Targeted Exercises – designed to improve strength, balance, and stability
✅ Environmental Modifications – practical tips to make homes and spaces safer

Through education and hands-on training, our students made a real impact in promoting safety and independence in the community. 💪
