Pauline Geraci, owner of Fit4Life Studio, will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum entitled “Fall Prevention” at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., in Sequim.

Geraci said she believes that falls don’t have to be a part of normal aging. Although they are the leading cause of injuries in people age 65 and over, Fall Prevention is “an effort to educate communities about the simple steps to mitigate against senior falls.”
