Tribe offers falls prevention program for seniors

MOLE LAKE - The Sokaogon Chippewa Community in Mole Lake will put a focus on preventing falls for its senior population. A new grant will help the Tribe do that.

A Mole Lake survey found Sokaogon Elders fell at a higher rate than people in other tribes and across the nation.

The new program will be called "Stepping On".
