Oasis Awarded Nearly $2 Million to Expand Falls Prevention Programs for Older Missourians
Oasis, an organization dedicated to serving older adults, has been awarded nearly $2 million by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This significant funding is designated to expand its falls screening and prevention programming for older adults across Missouri. Oasis was one of only eight organizations nationwide to receive this grant. The organization plans to build upon its existing work through the Center for Falls Prevention in St. Ann, aiming to increase access to programs designed to help older adults reduce their risk of falling and maintain their independence. The expanded programming is set to launch early next year, with Oasis actively recruiting paid, part-time facilitators to deliver these services within communities.
