September 16th at Noon MT, a free webinar on the topic of "Loneliness and the Power of Connection." Register here: https://leavitt.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HOKzr-2VQT2BzLe6BFVZuA #/registration

Loneliness is often misunderstood as a personal weakness or simply a lack of people around us, but research shows it is much more than that. Like hunger, thirst, or pain, loneliness is a biological signal telling us that something essential is missing: meaningful social connection.

Join the Population Health team for a presentation that explores why connection is foundational to our emotional, physical, and workplace well-being, how loneliness affects health and behavior, and what individuals, families, caregivers, and leaders can do to build stronger, more connected communities.

Remember to invite a friend, a coworker, or a family member. Let's all harness the power of connection this fall.
