Our CEO, Marty Blair, wrote a letter to the editor recently published by the Tennessean thanking Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty for their work to Protect Tennessee Seniors from Dangerous Falls by supporting the SAFE Act.

🚨 Alarming Facts:
😬9 MILLION seniors suffer injuries related to falls nationwide annually
😬320,000+ Tennessee seniors fall each year
😬Falls can be dangerous and lead to serious injury BUT are largely PREVENTABLE

What the SAFE Act does:
✅ Expand Medicare access to fall risk assessments
✅ Allow physical and occupational therapists to conduct fall risk assessments
✅ Provide crucial preventative care for our aging population

We encourage you to contact your local representatives and ask them to support H.R. 7618 at the link below. This crucial legislation can help seniors stay safe, healthy, and independent!
