Supporting the designation of the week of September 22 through September 28, 2025, as "National Falls Prevention Awareness Week" to raise awareness, and encourage the prevention, of falls among older adults.

This concurrent resolution advocates for the designation of September 22 through September 28, 2025, as "National Falls Prevention Awareness Week." The primary goal is to significantly raise public awareness regarding the prevalence and dangers of falls among older adults, while also promoting effective prevention strategies. This initiative seeks to highlight the substantial impact of falls, which lead to millions of emergency room visits and tens of thousands of preventable deaths annually, incurring billions in medical costs. Beyond awareness, the resolution emphasizes the existence of evidence-based, cost-effective falls prevention programs and policies that can address biological, behavioral, and environmental risk factors. It encourages continued efforts to reduce and prevent falls by supporting the collaborative work of various stakeholders, including federal, state, and local government entities, community organizations, healthcare providers, and individuals. Furthermore, Congress expresses support for increased Federal investments in falls prevention programs to mitigate the significant health and economic burdens associated with these incidents.
