Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among older adults in the United States. What does that look like here in Marin?
Hear from three local experts who see the impact of falls firsthand:
<ul><li>Bria Larson, MPH, Epidemiologist, Marin County Department of Health and Human Services</li><li>Jason Hatfield, San Rafael Battalion Chief</li><li>Jessica Lacanlale, MSN, RN, PHN, MarinHealth</li></ul>
Bria Larson will unveil findings from a three-year research and analysis project conducted in partnership with the County’s EMS Department. Her work looks at falls across Marin County, revealing who is falling, how often falls are happening, and what the local data can teach us about prevention.
Jason Hatfield will bring the first responder perspective, sharing what happens when a fall occurs and the fire department is called to respond. He’ll offer insights into emergency calls, response patterns, and what first responders see when they arrive at the scene.
Jessica Lacanlale will take us from the emergency response to the hospital, sharing data and insights from the patients who arrive after a fall. Her perspective will help illuminate which falls result in serious injury and what happens after an older adult enters the healthcare system.
Together, these three perspectives offer a rare look at the full picture of falls in Marin, from the data showing what is happening across our community, to the emergency response when a fall occurs, to the hospital experience that follows. The program will conclude with a live Q&amp;A with the panelists.

Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
