"Sacramento Fall Prevention Network"

Due to lack of funding, the Northern California Fall Prevention Coalition dissolved last year.  The mission of a fall prevention coalition is to increase awareness of falls, fall risk factors and provide resources that can reduce that risk.  The ultimate goal is to keep older adults safe at home and free from injury associated with falls.

As a coalition member, I was active in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the first, second and third community-based fall prevention events in Sacramento.  Like all coalition members, I volunteered my time and efforts.  Personally, I think our events improved each year and I was disappointed to hear the Area 4 Agency on Aging and Kaiser of South Sacramento wouldn't be sponsoring this year's event.

No sponsors, no event.  No coalition, no planning.  Seniors are still falling.

Enter the "Sacramento Fall Prevention Network"! 

• The SFPN is a network of older adult service provider agencies sharing resources and information on senior fall prevention in the greater Sacramento area. We are service providers, not vendors.  We do not sell products but share resources.  

•  This is not a collaborative or coalition, just a way to connect people who are working on senior fall prevention in Sacramento. 

•  The purpose of this network is to increase awareness of existing resources, share ideas with other service providers, and connect providers working on similar projects.

Please contact me if you are interested in joining the Sacramento Fall Prevention Network.
