State Falls Prevention Coalitions

Falls prevention coalitions can bring together organizations and providers that need to collaborate to reduce falls, identify state or community needs, recommend policy changes, and build capacity. Explore each State Falls Prevention Coalition, including their goals, objectives, and activities, and learn how they educate their community about older adult falls.
State Falls Prevention Coalitions

Since no single organization can address all aspects of falls prevention, coalitions enable organizations and providers in a given area to unite their expertise and resources to reduce falls, identify state or community needs, recommend policy changes, and build capacity.
