To improve health, build community resilience | University of Maryland | School of Public Health “It takes a village” isn’t just a saying – it’s a foundation backed by research.

#NIA awardee, Dr. Jie Chen of @publichealthumd.bsky.social , finds that improving health requires building community resilience. In US counties with lower community resilience, there's association with greater odds of cognitive disability, depression, and morbidity. #geronsky

I have added you, @neilchadborn.bsky.social and @gerisoc.bsky.social to the #geronsky starter pack! Sadly I cannot attend #GSA2025 because of the government shutdown in the USA. Enjoy yours next week.
