Marla and Mary examine Tammy Marshall's unique look at impact of coronavirus pandemic on older adults and on the communities that her company, Thrive Senior Living, owns and operate. In the process, they explore salutogenic versus pathogenic approaches to care, wellbeing, and Atul Guwande's contribution to rethinking the safety narrative.

Mary's takeaway is Tammy's exclamation to go back to the basics with regard to COVID: nature, sunshine, and good health and sleep.

This week's call to action: check out Atul Guwande's book, Being Mortal (particularly Chapter 5, which highlights The Green House Project).
