HSS Establishes New Partnership with SouthEast Edmonton Seniors' Association (SEESA)!


HSS's July 17th 2015 session was an exciting milestone for HSS as it marked the beginning of a new partnership with SEESA. 

This session on Bone Health/Fall Prevention was developed and hosted by three HSS medical student volunteers and the HSS initiative (resident) physician co-founders. The session participants were very engaged with the presentation content and asked a lot of really great questions about osteoporosis risk factors, prevention, and medications.

Session participants enjoyed the portion of the presentation where they had to identify fall hazards in photos taken in an HSS medical student volunteer's home. Session participants also really like the component of the presentation involving low-impact exercises/chair aerobics.

At the conclusion of the session, participants were provided with handouts that were purchased from Osteoporosis Canada.

Evaluations completed by participants and verbal feedback from participants indicated that they really enjoyed having the opportunity to learn about Bone Health/Fall Prevention and ask questions. The participants indicated that they would love to have HSS back for more sessions! HSS looks forward to nurturing this new partnership and hosting further sessions at SEESA! ~ Dr. A
