Healthy Living

Save the Dates! Nationally, September is National Fall Prevention Awareness Month. For 2023, the theme is From Awareness to Action. More that 45 states have active fall prevention coalitions. In Arizona, the Southern Chapter of the Falls Prevention Coalition (SCAFPC) joins these coalitions in their efforts to increase public awareness and educate consumers and professionals about the risks of falls and how to prevent falls. Please save the dates for the upcoming fall prevention awareness activities and events in Pima County. NOTE: Please check in the September 2023 Never Too Late for additional events and information.
