Social connections that create a sense of
caring, contributing, and community have a
range of benefits for health and
well-being and are especially important as
we age. In this presentation, Dr. Kim Van
Orden will describe reasons why attending to
one’s ‘social health’ is important. Social
connection is a form of medicine! She will
discuss evidence-based strategies to
increase quantity and quality of social
connections. She will share resources for
increasing social connection and describe a
