Protecting yourself from falls
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Speaker: Liz Lycett, MD, with Geriatric Medicine of BCH
The biggest threat to the independence of an older adult is a simple slip and fall. More than 1 in 4 older adults fall each year — resulting in more than 41,000 deaths. Many others are left with a permanent disability or devastating injury that threatens their independence.
Don’t let a fall change your life forever. Join Dr. Liz Lycett, BCH Medical Director of Geriatrics, as she describes simple things you can do to keep yourself from falling and stay independent longer.
Latest treatment for an enlarged prostate
Time: noon
Speaker: Stephen Siegel, MD, of Boulder Medical Center
For most men, the reality of aging means developing an enlarged prostate, medically called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When the prostate is enlarged, it can bother or block the bladder and can cause some men to run to the bathroom several times a night or feel they need to always be close to a restroom.
Hear board-certified urologist Stephen Siegel, MD, describe Aquablation® therapy — a new minimally invasive, robotically controlled procedure that limits the irreversible side effects of traditional treatment for BPH.
