The Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition is made up of community partners from all sorts of backgrounds. Membership is completely on a volunteer basis. The members of the coalition are passionate about keeping our seniors safe and falls free! As a group, we work tirelessly each year to provide the education, screenings and resources needed to reduce the number of falls for the senior residents of our county.
The Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition was founded in 2012 with collaboration from the Florida Department of Health and many other community members and stakeholders. The main goal of the coalition is Senior Fall Prevention.
We focus on the delivery of essential information and assistance with acquisition of necessary supplies and equipment needed for the prevention of injuries and falls among our seniors.

We focus on the delivery of essential information and assistance with acquisition of necessary supplies and equipment needed for the prevention of injuries and falls among our seniors. And we can help with recommendations and resources for home safety. We are continually looking and developing new ways to reach out to our seniors, particularly those in need.
In addition to live classes, we have now been able to develop opportunities for virtual learning for our seniors who have access to computers and social media.
With your support and contributions we will continue to bring valuable information to our seniors on how to prevent falls, as well as provide free fall prevention health screenings and access to balance and mobility classes. The Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Your support and contributions will enable us to continue to bring education, screenings and valuable programs to our seniors to prevent falls and promote healthy aging in place
