Fall prevention social media campaign underway

ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Staff at the Ohio State University Extension Office have launched a fall prevention social media campaign.

Each day of the week there will be a new post centered around a theme, such as Monday Motivation, or why fall prevention is important; Tuesday Tip; Watch it Wednesday videos; True or False Thursday; Fix it or Find it Friday, which touches on hazards in the home; Saturday and Sunday are Share it days.
