Lakeview Regional Medical Center, a campus of Tulane Medical Center, will host a falls prevention fair for residents of the St. Tammany Parish community. The event will be held Sept. 22 from 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. at the center in the Pelican Room. In addition to fall prevention tips, the community health and wellness event will focus on home and fire safety, how to get out quickly without falling, the safe use of medications and side effects, signs of stroke, and healthy nutrition information.
As it is the height of hurricane season, the team will share how to prepare and evacuate safely. Balance screenings and vision screenings will also take place on site during the fair.
For individuals interested in volunteer opportunities, representatives from the Lakeview Regional Volunteer Auxiliary will be on hand to provide more information.
Lakeview Regional Medical Center is located at 95 Judge Tanner Blvd in Covington.
