When Matthew Willoughby, a 2017 ONU pharmacy graduate, looks into the eyes of an older person, he sees a lifetime of stories and wisdom.
He sees a youthful soul. He also sees someone who just wants somebody to talk to, to be there with them. When he looks at an older person, he sees a purpose for his future. That’s why he’s working to minimize one of the aging population’s greatest problems: falls.
Falls number one cause of fatal injury
Falls are the No. 1 cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults in the United States, according to the National Council on Aging.
School’s out for the summer, but if you ride an Ada school bus there is one action you might take now for next school year.
Parents and caregivers of children who are picked up and/or dropped off at a location away from your residence need to complete a bus request form for the 2017-18 school year.
A copy of the request form is attached at the bottom of this story.
The deadline to submit the form is 9 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4. According to the school, due to busing changes, bus requests will not guarantee an approval. Parents must complete the bus request form first.
The requests must be submitted each new school year since they do not carry-over year-to-year.
