On Monday, Concordia University Wisconsin Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy students and faculty gathered with community partners to offer a holistic senior🧓fair focusing on preparing for🥶❄️. Concordia students were able to offer initiatives aiming at reducing falls among older adults in the community. Specifically, the offered ideas for reducing fall risk factors, selecting appropriate footwear👟, and ensuring safety in the home 🏡 and community🏢environment.

Our resident falls expert, Mike McKinnis coordinated the event, representing CUW OT and shared, "Fall prevention screenings are typically offered during September and only focus on basic fall screens. I wanted to create a hashtag event focused on winter weather. This would address the unique challenges of ice, snow, heating, and access to meals that older adults in Wisconsin face. This event offered the opportunity to partner with multiple community agencies to offer this holistic approach. It was a great time to connect with and serve older adults, as well as to build new relationships with our community partners."
Shout out to Dr. Elizabeth Paly, Dr. Kevin Gries, and Dr. Bob Barnhart from CUW PT for collaborating on this event.
