The start of fall is a reminder that seasonal changes can bring new health challenges for older adults, Mercy Health reminds. “The fall season can unfortunately bring certain risks to seniors, “says Dr. Midra Issa, Mercy Health primary care provider caring for patients at Mercy Health — Sheffield Primary Care, in a news release. “To help make the fall and winter seasons safer and more enjoyable for seniors, it’s important that they take preventative measures,” Issa said. “Get your flu shot, stay active and be mindful of the simple steps that can help you stay well. Partnering with your primary care physician can also be beneficial in understanding what you can focus on to boost your individual health as you age.”
