Hip Fracture Recovery Beyond the Hospital: The ENRICH Program and Mobility in Baltimore
Episode 6
Friday, 1 May, 2026

Send us Fan MailOn this month’s "The UMB Pulse Podcast," University of Maryland School of Medicine associate professor Jason R. Falvey, DPT, PhD, director of the Enhancing Rehabilitation to Improve Community Health (ENRICH) lab and inaugural director of the UMSOM Center for Disability Justice, discusses how hip fracture recovery depends on more than surgery and clinic-based therapy. Falvey explains how neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, transportation, housing, and infrastructure affect older adults’ ability to age in place and avoid social isolation, and why current Medicare rules limit real-world mobility training. Funded by the National Institute on Aging, Falvey’s work to address these challenges includes partnerships such as GoGoGrandparent and plans for pilot testing and larger trials.Learn more about the Center for Disability Justice: https://pt.umaryland.edu/research/center-for-disability-justice/Learn more about the ENRICH Program: https://www.umaryland.edu/research/breakthroughs/how-does-where-you-live-affect-recovery-after-a-hip-fracture/Listen to The UMB Pulse on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, and wherever you like to listen.
