About the Montana Falls Prevention Program
- The mission of the Montana Falls Prevention Program is to empower older adults in Montana to reduce their risk of falls by providing accessible, evidence-based fall prevention programs, promoting awareness of fall risks, and coordinating efforts across health care providers and community partners to create safer environments for all Montanans to live independently.
- The Montana Falls Prevention Program collaborates with the Administrative for Community Living, National Council on Aging, and local Montana organizations to bring awareness about the burden of falls in Montana, implement evidence-based falls prevention classes, and resources to reduce falls.
