Description: Last May, United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory addressing the epidemic of "loneliness and isolation."

The Surgeon General's advisory underscores the negative impacts that loneliness and isolation have on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

One way to offset the negative impacts of loneliness and isolation can be simply saying hello to your neighbors, according to a 2023 Gallup poll.

It's a simple practice — taking as little as seconds to minutes of conversation to get a quick chat in.

For this installment of our "Listner Picks" series, we discuss how we can we be a good neighbor in a time of isolation.
