Coshocton Springs takes steps to prevent falls

| September 22, 2017

COSHOCTON – Coshocton Springs marked National Falls Prevention Awareness Day by partnering with STEADY U Ohio, the state’s older adult falls prevention initiative, to help take “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls!” Twenty people signed up on Sept. 22 to participate in a one-mile fitness walk and learn what they or an older loved one can do to reduce the risk of a potentially life-changing fall. The number of participants and miles walked at this event were counted toward the state’s goal of 10 million steps statewide.
