Governor Proclaims September as Falls Prevention Awareness Month

Chances are you or someone you know has experienced a fall. If you have, you’re not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1 in 4 older adults (ages 65+) have a fall each year and 1 out of every 10 falls causes an injury. The good news is that falls are preventable! 

Falls prevention is for everyone and you have a big role to play in reducing your risk of a fall. Falls Free Wisconsin can help. We encourage you to take a look around at all of the great resources on FallsFreeWI.Org. Age with confidence, prevent falls.
