Too many New Yorkers lose out on vital connections with families, friends and neighbors as they grow older. Some become homebound, or are no longer able to perform daily tasks for themselves. This isolation and loneliness can take a toll on their mental health, and the global pandemic has only amplified the risks. NYC Commissioner for the Aging Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez joins First Lady Chirlane McCray for a conversation about how the City of New York is continuing to meet the needs of seniors and older New Yorkers through the pandemic, tap into the wisdom and experience of our elders, and keep meaningful social connections alive at any age.
