Neighborhood Lecture on Fall Prevention & Recovery

An enthusiastic crowd of Carnegie Hill Seniors filled the room at the House of the Redeemer on East 95th Street to hear Dr. Robert Curran of the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center share practical ways to avoid falls, identify hazards, and get up properly after a fall occurs.

The event was co-sponsored by Carnegie Hill Neighbors and local City Council Member Keith Powers.

In addition to his practical tips, Dr. Curran, Injury Prevention and Outreach Coordinator, Trauma Program, NYP/Weill Cornell, also offered two sources for those seeking additional information on this important subject for seniors:
