Falls are the leading cause of injuries for older adults. In fact, one out of every three people over the age of 65 will experience a fall each year. Luckily, many falls are preventable.

Tioga St. in Spencer.
The first 50 people to visit their displays will receive a free nightlight. For more information, call (607) 687-4120, ext. 315.
