Designating the week of September 18 through September 24, 2022, as "National Fall Prevention Awareness Week" to raise awareness about, and encourage the prevention of, falls among older adults.

Bill H.Con.Res. 107, also known as the "National Fall Prevention Awareness Week" bill, aims to designate the week of September 18 through September 24, 2022, as a time to raise awareness about and encourage the prevention of falls among older adults. The bill highlights the importance of addressing the issue of falls, which can have serious consequences for the health and well-being of older individuals.

The bill emphasizes the need for education and outreach efforts to inform older adults, their families, and caregivers about the risks of falls and the steps that can be taken to prevent them. This includes promoting exercise programs, home safety assessments, and other interventions that can help reduce the likelihood of falls.

By designating a specific week for fall prevention awareness, the bill seeks to draw attention to this important issue and encourage communities, organizations, and individuals to take action to protect older adults from the dangers of falls. Ultimately, the goal of the bill is to improve the quality of life for older adults by reducing the incidence of falls and the associated injuries and complications.
