Thank you for joining us!
On Friday, November 8th, 2019, LBFE brought together eight experts in aging to explore the impact and alleviation of elder loneliness locally and globally at the first-ever End Loneliness Symposium. Attendees from across the country and around the world joined us to learn more about aging — and living — with more connection to each other and ourselves.
