Heartland of Waterville; the chief of staff and chairman of the emergency department at University of
Toledo Medical Center.
It will be held at Heartland of Waterville, 8885 Browning Drive, Waterville at 12:30 p.m. The program is

prone to falls, as well as their caregivers, spouses and other loved ones.
While the lunch and program are free, registration is strongly suggested. Those interested can register

falls-related trauma and their underlying causes.
