Mililani Hongwanji Fall Prevention Class

Thank you to Catia Garell, Michelle Reed, and Karen Oshiro for coming out to help screen the members for the last fall awareness class. We were able to teach 25 members on recognizing how OT can help to reduce falls through good assessments. The church also donated $200 to our organization to further our mission. Mahalo nui loa!
