That’s why the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Shepherd Center are hosting Falls Prevention Awareness Day on Friday, Sept. 25 at the Shepherd Center. There will be free health screenings, fall risk assessments and fall prevention demonstrations, along with a free lunch for those who attend. The event is open to the public.
