Chair's Column: Addressing our Loneliness Epidemic

By John H McEniry IV, Fagron North America, Fairhope, AL

In the article, Mr. Stallard discusses the risks to individuals and organizations associated with the growing lack of social connections developed between individuals, as well as the steps that some organizations are taking to address this issue.
