Stony Brook Medicine (SBM) has been awarded $546,737 through the Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) 2022 Empowering Communities to Deliver and Sustain Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs grant program. The three-year grant will allow SBM to take an expanded role in the capacity and sustainability of older adult falls prevention programs across Long Island, while enhancing statewide efforts and informing best practices. Stony Brook, which operates Suffolk County’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, is one of only 7 grantees in the U.S. that received funding through the program this year.
