How understanding social determinants can deliver community wellness
In 2017, former-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy wrote in the Harvard Business Review that loneliness is becoming a serious healthcare problem.
Then, in early 2018, the U.K. appointed a Minister of Loneliness to address an epidemic that some say is worse for your health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
