  • Summary

  • Do the ladies of the Quilt Guild, the short order cooks at the City Pool Hall, and “Pumpkin Joe” hold the secrets to longer life? We travel to Eastern Kentucky: a region marked by drug use, job loss, and life expectancy decline. But these folks live in Wayne County, a bright spot where life expectancy exceeds that of neighboring counties by four years. We investigate how weak ties and social cohesion improve community health.


    Produced for Century Lives: Place Matters from the Stanford Center on Longevity. Hosted by Ken Stern.
