Information will also be provided on how to enhance each driver\u2019s safety and mobility. Each appointment takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n<p>JRMC Occupational Therapist, Leann Ripplinger, invites all to attend the event, including new drivers and experienced drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Ripplinger says, \u201cCarFit provides a great learning opportunity for drivers of all ages to learn some very helpful tips and drive away with insights to help optimize their safety and comfort in their vehicle.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy, practical information that everyone can appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Experienced drivers are often safe drivers, as they are more likely to wear seatbelts and less likely to speed or drink and drive. They are more likely, however, to be easily injured during a crash, stressing the importance of proper car adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>CarFit is an educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to JRMC CarFit sponsors including Atonement Lutheran Church, Handy Bar Inc., Jamestown High School, Newman Signs, Northwest Tire and Wilhelm\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about CarFit, occupational therapy and rehabilitation, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jrmcnd.com\/rehabilitation\">www.jrmcnd.com\/rehabilitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule a CarFit appointment direct: (701) 952-4800 or e-mail info@jrmcnd.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Jamestown Regional Medical Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jamestown Regional Medical Center is located at 2422 20<sup>th<\/sup> St. SW, Jamestown, N.D. and serves approximately 55,000 people in nine counties.
