HCD Prevent Falls PBC

With falls being the number one cause of traumatic injuries in Palm Beach County, the Health Care District's (HCD) Prevent Falls PBC application is an interactive app developed to help reduce the incidence of injuries caused by falls. Thanks to an awarded federal grant supported by U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, the Health Care District’s Trauma Agency is partnering with community agencies in offering free Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance® classes and other resources to the community to promote balance and help prevent falls.
