The Montgomery County Commission on Aging has released its 2026 Public Forum Summary Report, 'Social Connections for Older Adults: A Key to Aging Well.' The report, based on a May 28 public forum featuring experts from Johns Hopkins University and AARP Research, identifies social isolation as a public health concern linked to heart disease, dementia, and premature death. It outlines four priorities: expanding community-based programs, improving resource access, strengthening cross-sector partnerships, and elevating social connection in county planning and policy.
