Community Education
Please join us for a webinar on the important topic of Seniors and social isolation. According to the Centers for Disease Control, loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions. During this webinar, we will explore the following questions: 
  • What does social isolation mean?
  • Why does social isolation occur in old age?
  • What are the consequences of social isolation?
  • How do we reduce social isolation?

Presenter: Anna Maria Izquierdo-Porrera, MD, PhD, Executive Director, Care For Your Health, Inc.
