Did you know that every 15 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency department for a fall? The good news is that falls are largely preventable! Learn how to take steps to prevent falls! On Monday, Sept. 23 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. join the Foundation, the City of San Marcos and County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency on Fall Prevention Awareness Day to learn how you can take steps to prevent falls.
