Spread the word: Aging well means staying #FallsFree
COVID-19 has changed a lot of things, but one has stayed the same: Falling is NOT a normal part of aging. Join us the week of Sept. 21-25 in a nationwide effort to prevent falls among older adults. Use our toolkit of marketing materials to encourage older adults to use our new online Falls Free CheckUp, which provides a personalized look at risk factors and explains how to address them. The screening and marketing materials are available in both English and Spanish.
