988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, there is a new three-digit national number to access the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Anyone can call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org for themselves or a loved one when having suicidal thoughts, a mental health crisis, a substance use crisis, or emotional distress. 988 is a 24/7 universal entry point, so no matter where you live in the United States, you can reach a trained crisis counselor for help. The previous 1-800-273-8255 number will continue to function and direct to the same resources as 988.

Fall Prevention: Balance and General Strengthening
We welcomed Michelle Greenheck, DPT in March and she did a Fall Prevention Presentation. Michelle is a licensed physical therapist who enjoys working with patients in both the orthopedic and vestibular settings. She believes in a patient-centered and evidence-based treatment approach, focused on individualizing treatment programs based on the patient's goals. She values using hands-on techniques combined with exercise as well as educating patients on techniques in preventing further injury to help patients return to the activities they enjoy. Michelle is a vestibular rehabilitation specialist through the Herdman Certification and received her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from The Mayo School of Health Sciences in Rochester, MN.
Michelle focused on ways to prevent falls. She shared risk factors, ways to modify environmental factors, ways to use assistive devices, and general strengthening exercises.
