The 2024-25 NFL season is upon us, with the season having kicked off on Thursday, September 5th – it’s an annual rite of passage for fans to plan out their season, looking at schedules, booking trips, and shopping for tickets.

SAN ANTONIO - Science has shown that human beings are inherently social creatures by nature.
By and large, we live and thrive amongst our “herd.” Having lunch with friends, going on a walk with a coworker during break time, or having a phone call with a family member are ways we keep social. As it turns out, this social connectedness is crucial to our long-term health.
This is social wellness. Many barriers exist that often keep people, especially older adults, from maintaining social wellnes...

Across the country, people supporting the cause wear purple in an effort to shed light on what is, unfor...
