Fall Prevention Month Simcoe Muskoka

Posted November 19, 2024

Hello All,

November is here, and you know what that means—it's Fall Prevention Month! 🍂 This is the perfect opportunity for us to collaborate and shine a spotlight on fall prevention in the community. We have some updates we would like to share that are sure to spark your interest.

Georgian College is offering fantastic, reduced fees on dental hygiene services for those 65 and up! 🦷 Don’t miss out—check out the attached poster for all the details.  

Get ready to have some fun with our Fall Prevention Trivia Game! Hyperlinked is your go-to game that’s perfect for November and can be used all year long! We encourage our partners to showcase the slides on waiting room screens or anywhere else you can think of.

We are also excited to share our latest videos featuring older adults across Simcoe Muskoka sharing their stories about how they stay active, eat well, and meet their social and emotional needs. We hope these videos inspire new ideas for others in our community. Please share these videos and don’t forget to tag us on social media (or let us know if you would like us to tag you).

Thank you for your help in preventing falls!
