Do you know what medications you take — and why? 💊

It’s easy to lose track of what each medication you take does – but understanding your meds is a key part of staying steady on your feet! Some prescriptions and even over-the-counter meds can cause dizziness or drowsiness, increasing your risk of falls.

👉 Keep an updated medication list, ask questions, and talk with your pharmacist or doctor about any side effects. Find more tips on safely managing medications to stay independent and at FallsFreeWI.org.

After 27 years of service, Lieutenant Tony Montag worked his final shift yesterday. He was the mastermind behind many pranks throughout his career. No one was off limits or safe. Very few could get away with that, Tony was one of those guys that could 😊. Tony we will certainly miss you. Enjoy a well deserved retirement. Thank you for your many years of service and dedication.
