The Falls Prevention Initiative (FPI) is a joint venture of Health Canada (HC) and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Established in August 2000 to address the health problem of falls for Canadian seniors and veterans, this four-year pilot Initiative provides time-limited funding to sustainable community-based projects that aim ultimately to promote the independence and quality of life of veterans and seniors by preventing the number and/or reducing the severity of falls. A total of 40 pilot projects have been funded in three regions and nationally: 12 projects in Atlantic Canada; 15 projects in Ontario; nine (9) projects in British Columbia; and four (4) national projects focusing predominantly on assistive devices. The target clientele of the FPI includes community-dwelling veterans, seniors and their caregivers. ... gccst Elderly care gccst Accident prevention gccst Program assessment Canada. Health Canada.
