Social and economic inequities, not just age, are fueling a hidden epidemic of isolation and poor health among older adults. From differences in access to care based on wealth to compounding disadvantages faced by minority and rural seniors, systemic barriers diminish dignity and belonging. Recognizing these critical disparities is the first step in affirming equity and connecting every senior to the support they deserve. https://lnkd.in/e-JQpwFu #FightSeniorSocialIsolation #EndSeniorLoneliness

At Conversations to Remember, we combat loneliness and isolation, with a special emphasis on welcoming veterans into our free program. We pause today to honor all the veterans connected to our organization. A heartfelt acknowledgement goes to our board member, Justin, who is a veteran and plays a vital role as a support for our mission. We are forever grateful for your contributions. #C2R #VeteransDay #VeteranSupport
