SAN MATEO COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) — With a unanimous vote by the Board of Supervisors, San Mateo County has become the first county in America to recognize loneliness as a public health emergency.
“We have 45% of the people who find themselves being lonely. Who suffer from loneliness,” said Supervisor David Canepa.
Canepa introduced the resolution he hopes will spur further action.
