Recently I blogged about a Fox 45 News report on the Sinai Hospital driving rehabilitation program that helps people recovering from stroke or other conditions get back on the road. But healthy seniors in need of a driving skills refresher should check out Northwest Hospital's AARP Driver Safety Class for people age 50 and older.
The two-part classroom driving skill review course identifies ways of compensating for the physical changes of the maturing driver. The classes will be held at Weinberg Village II on March 17 and 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The cost is $12 for AARP members and $14 for non-members. Pre-registration is required. For more information, call 410-521-5968.
