Stay Balanced in Retirement
May 8th here at CTK from 6 pm.

Let's address the obvious, falls happen. They are not inevitable however, so let's focus on how to build our balance to avoid them and be more resilient if a fall were to happen. Join Dr. Moira Martin of Lake Country Health Center as she discusses ways to improve our balance, build strength, and have confidence as we age. We do have control over our bodies after we retire, let's take advantage of it!
