One in three Americans 65 and older falls each year, and falls are the leading cause of injury in older Americans, according to the National Council on Aging. The good news is that falls are preventable and not an inevitable part of aging. The Loudoun County Area Agency on Aging is sponsoring free educational workshops and screenings.
