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. |
