Positively Pink Focuses On Fall Prevention

Card image cap

The Positively Pink Women’s Health Series is a program covering a range of topics important to women in the community.

The event begins with social time, blood pressure screening and snacks. Each event offers an expert speaker that presents a topic to improve women’s health or offer solutions to common problems women face.

Positively Pink is on Feb. 26, at 7 p.m., with social time beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the Wood County Hospital meeting rooms. This event will focus on Balance and Fall Prevention: Why it Matters.

Maintaining balance is essential for reducing fall risk, especially for individuals living with arthritis or Parkinson’s disease. These conditions can affect joint mobility, muscle strength, posture, and coordination, making everyday movements more challenging. When vestibular disorders are present – issues with the inner ear that contribute to balance – the risk of falls can increase significantly.

Join us and Kasey McKanna for an informative evening to better understand these challenges and learn practical strategies to stay safe, strong, and independent.

Registration for this event is free but required and can be done by visiting www.WoodCountyHospital.org/classes – Community Wellness or by calling Wellness Services at 419-354-8887.

Positively Pink is designed to provide women with the answers needed to live a long, healthy, and happy life.
