Supporting the designation of the week of September 22 through September 28, 2025, as "National Falls Prevention Awareness Week" to raise awareness, and encourage the prevention, of falls among older adults.
This concurrent resolution designates the week of September 22-28, 2025, as "National Falls Prevention Awareness Week" to raise public awareness about falls among older adults (65+). It directly affects older adults and organizations working on fall prevention, such as healthcare providers and community groups. The resolution cites CDC data showing falls cause 41,000 annual deaths and $80 billion in medical costs, while encouraging existing evidence-based strategies like home safety modifications and balance exercises. It does not create new laws or funding but supports awareness efforts and collaboration among federal agencies, the Aging Network, and healthcare providers.
