Abstract

With the increasing age of the population in the USA, fall prevention events to target older patients are imperative. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma hosted a fall prevention event at the host city of the 2023 Annual Meeting. We review the planning and implementation of this “Stop the Falls” event, in hopes that other institutions may benefit and sustainably effectuate fall prevention events for an increasingly geriatric population.
