This Falls Prevention Awareness Week, our trauma centers and emergency rooms are calling attention to a very common cause of injury. Falls are a leading cause of emergency room and trauma center visits, and they are preventable! 

Here are some tips to help keep you on your feet this fall. 🍂 

🧹 Clear clutter and dry spills: Tripping and slipping hazards are the #1 cause of preventable falls at home. 
🔦 Light the way: A well-lit path is the easiest way to prevent a middle-of-the-night accident. 
🤓 Don't skip vision checks: Even a small change in your prescription can affect depth perception and balance. 
🏋️ Exercise to boost your balance: Strength is your best stabilizer. Stronger muscles = better stability. Stepping On is a nationally recognized course that could be helpful. 
✅ Review your risks, and communicate: Know which of your medications can cause dizziness or grogginess. Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, friends and family.
