This week (9/20 - 9/26) is Fall Prevention week.
As a member of San Diego's Fall Prevention Task Force and Speakers Bureau I encourage
everyone to take a look around their home for tripping hazards. Many falls are preventable.
Between 30-40% of people over 65 fall each year. Of those, 20-30% suffer moderate to severe injuries such as hip fractures.
There is a wealth of information on this website for you to see regarding Fall Prevention
