Highlights from Medina City Council (OH)

More than 90 people completed Medina’s Fall Prevention Fitness Challenge, a project of the America 250 committee and Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital. Participants did at least 10 home exercises and two community activities to enter a drawing for Second Soul gift cards. Dr. Thomas Rogers of Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital called falls and hip fractures a major health risk and cited 54 deaths from 2024. He pointed residents to Balance Smart at the rec center, Stepping On at the health department and SilverSneakers.
