Do you sometimes worry about falling down?
Have you fallen in the past year?
Do you have problems with walking or balance?
Know someone who does?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you or someone you know may be eligible for the next Stepping On program, offered collaboratively in central Wisconsin with the Partnership for Healthy Aging. This is a free, seven-week program to help reduce falls and build confidence. Learn from guest experts, build muscles, have fun, and make friends. There are criteria to participate, and you will be asked a few questions when you call to register in order to determine eligibility. To learn more, please call the Aspirus Information Center at 715.847.2380 or 800.847.4707 during normal business hours.
