Center of Concern is inviting you to Fight the Loneliness Epidemic with us and enjoy an evening of appetizers, cocktails, networking, expert panel discussion, and awards ceremony at this special Successful Aging Seminar.


Everyone needs social connections to survive and thrive. Social isolation is associated with a 50% percent increased risk of dementia, a 29% increased risk of heart disease, and a 32% increased risk of stroke. Loneliness increases risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide.


We all can help fight the loneliness epidemic.

There is no cost to attend this special event, though donations are encouraged. Doors open at 5:30pm for networking, appetizers, and a cash bar, the program will start at 6:30pm, and the evening will conclude at 8:30pm.
