TUCSON, Ariz. — Seniors in Tucson are finding companionship and nutritious meals through a program offered across Tucson.

Beyond nutrition, the program addresses social isolation and loneliness. “We’ve learned even more about the issue which we sort of knew about: the issue of social isolation and loneliness. There’s some research that says loneliness has the same kind of negative health impacts of smoking about 50 or 40 cigarettes a day,” said Clark.
