The Stand Strong Falls Prevention Act amends the Older Americans Act of 1965 to establish an Advisory Committee on Falls Prevention. This committee will evaluate federally funded falls prevention programs, assess U.S. progress in addressing falls prevention, and recommend improvements for future public education campaigns. The committee will also advise on developing a national plan for falls prevention, coordinate research and services across federal agencies, and recommend Medicare pilot programs for falls prevention services.
