About Us
The Fall Prevention Coalition of San Mateo County was developed in March 2003 and brings together a coalition of more than 20 different community provider agencies, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, senior centers and private service providers, all serving older adults in San Mateo County, through resourceful fall prevention education and an opportunity to network with like-minded community agencies.
In San Mateo County, falls account for 80% of accidental injury deaths in individuals over the age of 85, and 20% in ages 75 to 84.
The mission of the Fall Prevention Coalition of San Mateo County is to support older adults so they can live independently in their communities while enjoying a quality life by reducing the staggering number of preventable falls.
