Episode Description

80 percent of our health is actually determined by social factors -- including access to healthy food, our lived environment, financial security and social networks.
On this episode of Aging Forward, Dr. Amit Shah breaks down how community ties are crucial to our wellbeing, and shares many of the lesser known benefits - from legal resources to transportation aid to respite care - available to older adults.
