The N.C. Falls Prevention Coalition Action Plan is designed to reduce the number of injuries and deaths due to falls among older adults and adults at risk for falling in North Carolina over the next five years.
Since 2008, the N.C. Falls Prevention Coalition has brought together diverse stakeholders to focus on the public health issue of falls. Released during Falls Prevention Awareness Week Sept. 21-25, 2020, the 5-year Action Plan includes input from over 40 partners from across the state and all 180 coalition members were invited to contribute. It is a living document and will be updated regularly as we make progress collectively on each objective and action step. Please visit this page for more information about the planning process and our 2012-2013 action plan.
