It's Falls Prevention Week - Learn More Here!
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of four older Americans fall each year, and one single fall doubles the chance of falling again. Falls Prevention Awareness Week, September 18-22, 2023, is an opportunity to raise awareness about how to prevent falls among older adults.  For prevention tips, watch this short video:
