Loneliness kills. 

Fortune Magazine analyzed findings from 70 scientific studies. They found that loneliness, isolation, and living alone all had a significant effect on a person's risk for early death. 

Loneliness affects people of all ages, but older people are particularly vulnerable.

Klaatch is a service that is ending loneliness among seniors. 

Klaatch removes the barriers to making meaningful connections, in-person, that create lasting change and improve healthy aging.
