The Santa Monica Family YMCA Senior Center will hold a free seminar March 16 on hip fractures. Dr. Lynn Kerew, a Santa Monica-based chiropractor with a master’s degree in public health and education as well, will conduct the seminar.
Kerew will address the physiology of the aging process and the difference between osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Up to 70 percent of senior deaths can be attributed to the secondary ramifications of hip fractures.
To register for the seminar, check in at the Senior Center’s front desk. The Y will also have a hands-on screening on March 23.
