The Mobility Program

The Mobility Program

Many older adults experience a decline in mobility following hospitalization. We plan to embark on a mobility program to prevent hospital-associated physical decline by having a dedicated mobility aide or champion to encourage and assist in ambulating and exercising patients on a regular basis throughout their hospital stay. The program is aimed at preserving independence for our older adults for as long as possible by intervening during the period when they are most vulnerable to experience functional decline. We are optimistic that we will be able to pursue implementing this program in the future with philanthropic support.
