A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Falls Prevention Summit 2025 Attendees!

We are absolutely thrilled by the incredible turnout and engagement at the Falls Prevention Summit 2025: Falling is a Trip held on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the Sierra Presbyterian Church. To each and every one of you who attended, thank you for making this year's summit an outstanding success!

It was inspiring to see so many members of our community actively engaging with the vital information and practical strategies presented throughout the day. Your commitment to improving balance, building strength, and reducing the risk of falls is what makes these events so meaningful.

We hope you enjoyed the diverse and enriching program, including:

• Hollie Grimaldi Flores's captivating keynote, "Falling is a Trip—but Not a Joyride," which offered an honest and humorous perspective on staying upright.
• The heartwarming performance by the Forever Young Chorus with Colleen Bond, reminding us of the joy of movement.
• Libby Woods's practical guidance on becoming "Strong and Steady."
• Ricky Hurtado Montes, EMT's crucial insights on when and how to "Make the Fall Call."
• Liz Dreher's illuminating session on "Eating to Stay Steady" from Foothills Compassionate Care.
• The entertaining yet essential skit, "Avoiding the Pit 'Falls' of Scammers," presented by Peter Stack & Melissa Hannebrink.
• Homer's calming "Just Breathe" moment of mindfulness.
• And Jennifer Thomas from FREED's valuable overview of resources available to help you stay "FREED from Falling."

Your active participation and thoughtful questions truly enriched the discussions and allowed for a dynamic exchange of knowledge. We are confident that the tools and insights gained will help you, your loved ones, and our community stay safer and healthier.

We are already looking forward to our next event and continuing to empower you on your journey to lifelong wellness.
