MASSACHUSETTS FALLS PREVENTION COALITION
The Massachusetts Falls Prevention Coalition was established in 2006 by founding organizations, the Massachusetts Senior Care Association, the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, to raise awareness about the serious problem of older adult falls and associated injuries and promote the availability of successful prevention strategies to help reduce falls rates in Massachusetts.
The month of September is very important to the falls prevention community and the Falls Coalition as it includes a national observance on educating how older adult falls and falls injuries can be prevented previously called Falls Prevention Awareness Day and this year known as Falls Prevention Awareness Week (FPAW). The National Council on Aging has designated the week of September 21st through September 25th 2020 as FPAW. To learn more about what you can do to promote awareness during FPAW, please visit the following website: https://www.ncoa.org/healthy-aging/falls-prevention/falls-prevention-awareness-week/
