The 3rd Annual “Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall,” a falls prevention conference for older adults, was held on October 17, 2014. The conference was hosted by the Idaho State University Physical Therapy Program and the Falls Prevention Program at Southeastern Idaho Public Health. Attendees learned about falls, their fall risk, how to prevent falls, and how to “fall-proof” their home. Captain Ryan O’Hearn with Pocatello Fire Department delivered a presentation on falls prevention and reported on the number of 911 calls they receive for falls and how they are helping those individuals to prevent another fall from happening.
