Pasco County Fall Prevention Coalition

A Fall Prevention Coalition was started in Pasco County in February of 2008. Members represent health and social service agencies as well as private businesses that serve seniors. The group is collecting data on the prevalence of falls among seniors in Pasco County and working on ways to educate seniors on ways to prevent falls. The group is seeking additional members and interested parties are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings. For more information or for the date and location of monthly meetings, call Pat Sovonick of Community Aging and Retirement Services (CARES), Inc.at 727-514-4770.
