 Social connection is medicine for our souls. It's also great for communities. Places where residents have a sense of belonging tend to do better when it comes to measures of population health, community safety, prosperity, and civic engagement. As a country, we need to cultivate a culture of connection. This involves changes to our health sector, workplace, public policies, research, and how we use digital technology. We need to look out for one another. So reach out to family, friends, colleagues, strangers who look like they could use a high five.
