The Hidden Epidemic: Loneliness in America

Nearly 1 in 2 adults in the U.S. report feeling lonely even before the pandemic. The U.S. Surgeon General officially declared loneliness an epidemic in 2023, linking it to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and premature death.

People with strong relationships are 50% more likely to live longer than those with weaker social ties. A landmark 85-year Harvard study found that “close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives.”

Tackling the loneliness epidemic – one real conversation at a time.
