Join Us For An Upcoming Event!

The Science Behind Social Connections: Thursday, January 22  | 11:30 am

Healthy aging isn’t just about physical fitness or mental sharpness — it’s also about staying socially connected. Research shows that isolation and loneliness are critical factors affecting older adults’ overall health and well-being– similar to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day! Join us for an engaging discussion on how meaningful relationships and social networks can promote longevity, life satisfaction, and resilience. Learn about the health impacts of social isolation and discover practical strategies for building and maintaining positive social connections that support a vibrant, healthy life. 

Dr. Nancy R. Hooyman is the Professor of Gerontology and Dean Emerita at the University of Washington School of Social Work. A Fellow in the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare, she has authored 14 books and over 130 articles related to aging and caregiving. Dr. Hooyman is a recipient of the CSWE Lifetime Achievement Award in Social Work Education and the Gerontological Society’s Kent Award.
