Exercise class for older adults

St. Luke's Miners Campus, Coaldale, is sponsoring a new class called a Matter of Balance, an award-winning program designed to help older adults manage their risk of a fall and increase their ability to remain active.

The program emphasizes practical strategies to improve balance, flexibility and strength for anyone concerned about falling or who has fallen in the past.

Classes will begin Sept. 26 and continue through Nov. 14. They will be held in the hospital's community room, from 10 a.m. to noon., and will include low level exercises and a snack in addition to regular discussions.

Class size is limited so registration is required. Call 570-645-1811 to register.
