CarFit is a free, 30-minute educational program that helps older adults see how well their car “fits” them. A proper fit can improve safety and reduce the risk of injury. While you sit in your vehicle, trained professionals assess key areas like seat position, seat belt use, steering wheel tilt, line of sight, mirror alignment, and pedal access. 

The program is led by Donna Stressel, Occupational Therapist at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital.

Join Ann Sayers, a local independent scholar and author who has spent years researching the Believers who lived in “ Wisdom’s Valley,” as the Shaker community sometimes called itself, for this special event.
