UC expert featured in U.S. News & World Report article
The University of Cincinnati's Victoria Heasley was featured in a U.S. News & World Report article discussing the best and worst exercises for older adults.
Heasley, MD, assistant professor in UC’s Colleges of Medicine and Engineering and Applied Science and a UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute physician, recommended that balance should be one focus for older adults.
