Falls Jump in WI

A new report shows just how dangerous, and common, falls are in Wisconsin. 

The state’s Department of Health Services released the report this week.  It says falls make up 18-percent of EMS runs in the state, and that more people are falling.  DHS’s numbers show that EMS providers responded to 25-thousand-55 more falls in 2022 than they did in 2019.  Falls are increasing by about ten-thousand per year. Most falls, the report shows, aren’t deadly, though some certainly can be.
