Our Mission

Our calling is to prevent falling!

Developed to promote evidence-based falls prevention approaches, the Arizona Falls Prevention Coalition (AFPC) helps coordinate existing efforts, provides technical assistance and increases the opportunities for older adults to enhance their quality of life. The Coalition provides education and information to help older adults in Arizona improve their flexibility and balance, reduce their fear of falling, and decrease the likelihood of a fall.

The mission of the Arizona Falls Prevention Coalition is to reduce risk of falls in Arizona through education, outreach, evaluation and advocacy.

Falls accounted for over 84.5% of all trauma injuries among adults over 65 in 2023
26.1% of Arizona adults age 65 + reported falling at least once during the previous 12 months
Arizona Department of Health Services cited $4.13 billion in total fall-related charges in 2022
