United Way Safe and Healthy Aging Initiative: Preventing Adverse Drug Events and Falls

Published: Sept. 1, 2011, 5 p.m.

Adverse Drug Events are a major cause of falls among the elderly (a group that is going to increase 130 percent in the next 20 years in Dane County). United Way’s Safe and Healthy Aging Initiative aims to reduce these events, and this program notes the launch of United Way’s efforts. WISC-TV’s Neil Heinen moderates this program, which includes several speakers who will address the size and scope of the problem and how United Way plans to address the issue.
