Winnebago County Health Department offers life-changing programs

 According to the CDC, each year in the United States about one in four adults age 65 and older reports falling each year. that's about 36 million falls annually, and that's just the falls that are reported.

The Winnebago County Health Department and other local partners here in Wisconsin take falls very seriously. They teach a number of classes that can help build strength and good balance, so that not as many people fall.

During this show, three folks from the county health department talk about the programs the county offers, as well as some of the other very valuable services they offer for free. Basically, the county health department staff want each person to be able to age in place longer and safely, and for each person to live their best life. Check out the classes they offer and other services available at the county's website: at www.co.winnebago.wi.us, then click on “health,” and “divisions-program.”
