Men like Louis Wanted!

North East LHIN encourages fellow Northerners to take part in LHIN-funded exercise classes that help to prevent falls and stay healthy

July 28, 2016 – “Louis Demers is doing his very best to avoid becoming one of the approximately 1,200 older adults hospitalized every year in Northeastern Ontario as a result of a fall.

He’s participating in the close to 300 free exercise programs funded by the North East LHIN and offered in communities across the North. You can find location near you on the LHIN’s website here.

Louis has joined in exercise classes at two North Bay locations. As he has limited mobility and walks with a cane, instructors have adapted the classes to accommodate him”….Please click here to read the full media release.
