Did you know that social disconnection can pose greater health risks than physical inactivity — and affects nearly four in ten adults ages 45 and older?

On May 19, CHC: Creating Healthier Communities brought together leaders from Meals on Wheels America, Village to Village Network, Theris, and the Global Initiative on Social Connection for our latest AARP-sponsored CHC University webinar: Connection Is Health.

The conversation was clear: loneliness and isolation are community health issues — and all of us have a role in addressing them.

When people need support, they begin with the people who know their names.

Behind every act of care is a story of love, sacrifice, and strength.

Family members, friends, and healthcare workers who care for seniors often face emotional, physical, and financial strain. It’s time to transform that strain into breakthrough.

This event will be moderated by CHC President and CEO, Jean Accius, PhD, and will include the following subject matter experts:

Narda Ipakchi,
Vice President of Policy and Programs, The SCAN Foundation

Robert Espinoza,
Distinguished Fellow and Senior Adviser, National Academy of Social Insurance

Kyle Woody,

Steve Schwab,

Together, we’ll explore how nonprofits, communities, and healthcare workers can better support, equip, and empower caregivers through access to training, resources, and respite programs, so that those who give so much receive the care and support they deserve.

We’ll also discuss how this mission extends to those who serve our nation’s veterans and their families. The more people who understand this opportunity to support caregivers, the greater the likelihood of implementing a high-impact, collaborative strategy.

Let’s talk about how we can better support those who give so much of themselves to care for others — including our nation’s veterans and their families.
