Stable Steps: Enhancing Mobility for Better Health
Resources Available from Desert Oasis Healthcare
(October 4, 2023 – Palm Springs, CA) DOHC invites its members to unlock secrets for healthy aging with Stable Steps, providing personalized resources and guidance for strength, balance, and improved mobility.
“Maintaining or improving strength and balance is key to ensuring higher levels of physical activity and mobility as people age,” said Lindsey Valenzuela, PharmD and Associate Vice President of Population Health Integration for Desert Oasis Healthcare (DOHC.) “In fact, these kinds of activities to build strength and balance are associated with any number of positive benefits, such as maintaining cognitive function and helping to guard against heart disease, diabetes, depression, obesity, and more.”
More than one-quarter of people over the age of 65 have falls that are the cause of 95% of hip fractures. Falling just once doubles the chance of falling again, while also contributing to a reduction in strength and balance. But Stable Steps from DOHC provides comprehensive and patient centered tools and resources to help improve strength, balance, and mobility.
