Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults. Medications often play a role. Drew Maygren, a geriatric psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., emphasizes the importance of reviewing medications regularly. Adding new prescriptions or combining multiple medications may lead to side effects such as dizziness or confusion, which may increase fall risk.

“Here’s to strong bodies, strong friendships, and the strength we find in each other.” ❤️ Thank you YMCA of the Chesapeake , Thank you Queen Anne County YMCA, and Thank you Dottie!!

At the YMCA, Enhance®Fitness is so much more than an exercise class—it’s a place where strength is built, confidence grows, and friendships become family. Our Queen Anne’s County YMCA Enhance®Fitness group is a beautiful example of that spirit.

This week, our EF community came together to say goodbye to a beloved YMCA staff member, friend, and fellow participant, Dottie Skocic. Dottie brought warmth, laughter, and kindness to every class, and her presence made our circle stronger. As we lifted weights and worked on balance, she lifted hearts.

To our Queen Anne’s County EF participants: thank you for showing what it means to care for one another—in class, in the community, and through every season of life.

Here’s to strong bodies, strong friendships, and the strength we find in each other.

Happy National Take a Hike Day! 🥾

Yes, the days are getting shorter. Yes, the weekdays are busy. But getting outside — even for a few minutes — is always worth it.

Today is your reminder that hiking doesn’t need to be complicated. A walk through your neighborhood, a loop around a local park, or a quick trail nearby is enough to boost your mood, clear your mind, and reconnect you with the outdoors.

So grab your hiking essentials, step outside, and celebrate the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying some fresh air and time in nature!

Happy Hiking! 💚 https://americanhiking.org/national-take-hike-day/
