Falls Prevention Awareness Week—September 20–24, 2021

Falls Prevention Awareness Week—September 20–24, 2021


Every September, on the first day of fall, the National Council on Aging promotes National Falls Prevention Awareness Week. Fall prevention is a team effort. Healthcare providers, including primary care specialists, pharmacists, and physical therapists can work together to reduce fall risk in their older adult patients. It doesn’t stop there. Communities, local fire and rescue services, caregivers, family members, and more can all play a role in fall prevention.
