Congratulations to Louise Hutton and her team on the success of the Manitoba Falls Prevention Education Event! This very well attended event began with a review of Manitoba’s falls prevention evaluation results and brought together front line health care professionals working in acute, long term and community care to receive education on exercise, balance and vestibular dysfunction.

HipSaver Canada was pleased to sponsor the event’s keynote speaker, Dr. Fabio Feldman who is the Manager of Seniors Falls and Injury Prevention for the Fraser Health Authority. Dr. Feldman presented a video analysis of falls, spoke about research and technologies for injury prevention and talked about several unique programs developed within Fraser Health.
