send a letter of appreciation to:
Walmart

Bentonville, AR 72716
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
Each year more than 1/3 of our population, age 65 and over, suffers a fall. These falls account for one out of
every 10 emergency department visits in our country and over $20 billion in healthcare costs each year.
Specifically within the Hawaii County, this equates to over 1,400 emergency department visits, over 400
hospital admissions, and seven deaths each year.
In a partnership with Hilo Medical Center, State Emergency Medical Services and Injury Prevention, and
Hawaii County Office of Aging (ADRC), the Hawaii Fire Department is preparing to rollout a Senior Fall
Prevention and Home Safety Program in which EMS paramedics will perform a standardized fall risk
assessment, complete a fall prevention home safety checklist, provide fall safety education, and when
necessary make referrals within the community healthcare system to assure patient safety, prevent falls, and
ultimately improve outcomes and quality of life for the Kupuna on Hawaii Island.
This funding from Walmart will aid in the purchase of a laptop computer to assist in management and data
collection for the EMS Bureau's Fall Prevention Program.
