WiHPCA Supports Legislation Creating a Falls Prevention Awareness Grant Program

November 17, 2025 1:36 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

WiHPCA recently decided to support draft legislation, which has not yet been introduced (as this is written), that would create a grant program for falls prevention awareness. In particular, this bill would appropriate $450,000 in each of state fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to be awarded to the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging (WIHA). WIHA is the only statewide organization that focuses solely on the issue of falls prevention. In addition to offering classes and workshops on falls prevention, WIHA also coordinates programs throughout Wisconsin to educate senior citizens and caregivers.
