41% of Americans report feeling lonely. Social connection is not just personal—it is shaped by the places we live, the systems around us, and the strength of our communities.
Community environments, policies, and investments can help people feel more connected — and less alone.

Nearly 13 million seniors are threatened by or experience hunger. It's must #EndTheWait for older Americans in need of Meals on Wheels.

I'm excited to share highlights from my recent main stage presentation at the @APA Conference! It was an honor to discuss the power of social connection with such an inspiring and engaged audience.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to make this possible! #APAConference

For far too long the protective effects of social connection on our physical health and risk for earlier death has been under appreciated. This latest finding is quite remarkable! #socialconnection @fdn4sociconnect @GILC__

Sharing an exciting new resource that I helped build, Roon (https://t.co/HPtEL9nvaA), a free platform helping people navigate dementia through thousands of short-form Q&A videos from 60+ dementia experts, caregivers, and more. Look, share, and let me know what you think!

Strengthening the social fabric of our nation is essential to improving our collective health and well-being, and we can do it—but it will take all of us working together: individuals, community leaders, government, and health workers. https://t.co/fEkzNOB4JZ

One of my favorite hospital rituals was reflecting on poetry with my team. An excerpt:

“What is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart…It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit…Work is love made visible.”
