The Healthpark offers a small group, supervised exercise class designed to reduce the risk of falling by improving gait, balance, stability, and muscle strength. Called Fall Prevention or B.A.S.E. (Balance Awareness Stability Everywhere), the program runs for 12 weeks and includes two one-hour exercise sessions each week along with six educational sessions and shared medical visits during the same period. To participate, individuals should be ambulatory without heavy reliance on a walker or other mobility devices, be able to attend the full schedule, obtain medical clearance from a physician, and consent to pre-testing to determine candidacy as well as post-testing to measure progress. In a pilot group, those who completed the class reported fewer falls, greater confidence with less fear of falling, and increased strength, stamina, and endurance. Program cost is based on the insurance cost of six co-pays to a regular family medical provider, which cover the six individual education sessions and shared medical appointments with a Lifestyle Medicine Physician.
