A Delicate Balance

To help seniors maintain their independence and avoid future risk of falling, Dr. Thomas Lee, family practice physician, will host a free program—A Delicate Balance Tuesday, Oct. 8.  The free event will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Silver Cross Hospital Conference Center, Pavilion A, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox.  Families are invited to learn about what causes a fall or loss of balance, how to identify areas of weakness, how to safeguard the home and other helpful tips to avoid harmful falls.  Free Fall & Balance screenings will be offered by physical therapists with The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago at Silver Cross before and after the program.  Register to attend at www.silvercross.org or by calling 1-888-660-HEAL (4325).
