December 9th, 2011

Dr. McVay was asked to speak as the guest healthcare professional at the Barrington Senior Center in a balance program put on by the Barrington YMCA. This included a demonstration of how to get on and off the floor, ways to prevent falls, how to get up from a low seat as well as a question and answer time.

Class size was limited and full. Serious topics did not keep the mood from being “Merry”:
