Are there any examples of an entire region taking on the issue of falls? Really engaging multiple sectors in addition to health care and social services? #AgeFriendly
It's #FallsPreventionAwarenessWeek!
Why care about falls?
Per @CDCgov, annually:
1. Falls account for 34k deaths of #seniors
2. Falls cost $50B in medical costs

Follow @NCOAging and @ACLgov as we discuss falls prevention this week!
