Granite VNA is offering “A Matter of Balance,” a falls prevention program that helps adults view falls and the fear of falling as controllable, change the environment to reduce fall risk factors, and exercise to increase strength and balance. The eight-week program is on Fridays beginning March 10 from 10 a.m. to noon. The program is being held at Pembroke Town Library at 313 Pembroke St. Our “A Matter of Balance” classes help participants gain confidence and learn simple fall prevention strategies. This program is offered at no charge. Registration is required and space is limited. To register, call (603) 224-4093, ext. 85815 or visit granitevna.org/calendar. Masks are optional.
