Why the emphasis on community?
Social connection matters! The World Health Organization1 and the U.S. Surgeon General have both recognized loneliness and social isolation as a public health epidemic with profound impacts on health and wellbeing. Approximately half of U.S. adults report experiencing loneliness.
On the flip side, social connection is linked to improved health. A report from the U.S. Surgeon General in 2023 stated that seeking social connection can be a proactive approach to living a fulfilled and happy life and contributing to more-connected communities that are healthier, safer, and more prosperous.2
