Sept 22 is the first day of fall kicking off Falls Prevention Awareness Week

Injuries and health issues from falling are big concerns as we age. In fact, every 28 minutes a senior falls at home. Today, (Sept 22) is the first official day of fall and also the day we kick off the Falls Prevention Awareness Week running through Sept. 28.

Read my article for PBS Next Avenue about a falls prevention movement called Falls Stop, MOVE STRONG –  a great program to keep you moving and prevent falls.
