Description

Social Prescribing USA is the hub for the advancement of the U.S. social prescribing movement. We keep you up to date with the latest research in social prescribing, provide support for organizations pioneering the movement in the U.S., provide connections for those interested in becoming involved, establish social prescribing policy, and obtain and direct funding for its advancement. Social prescribing utilizes the arts, nature, volunteerism, and local community organizations as medicine for patients of all ages. Social prescribing considers social health as important to a patient’s well-being as physical and mental health, and is a key tool to address the loneliness epidemic and the social determinants of health. It is founded on the principles of health equity. The use of our community resources as medicine is one of the next big ideas in health care in the U.S., as it is in more than 30 countries around the World.
