MEDICINE HAT, AB — As snow and ice continues to accumulate this winter, Alberta Health Services is reminding residents that there are steps they can take to prevent slips and falls outside.
Dr. Shobhit Maruti, the medical officer of health for the South Zone, says winter tends to be the time of year AHS sees more hospital visits resulting from slips and fall.
“The spectrum of injury can be from more minor injuries, like bruises, to more serious things like fractures or more serious sprains and strains,” he said.
