Social Prescribing

Connecting older adults to non-medical services and programs to enhance their social network and support systems

Older adults seeking community resources including social enrichments and engagement can now talk to their primary care team for a “prescription” to connect them with their local community resource provider. Social prescribing is connecting older adults with their local community resource coordinator, to access a variety of programs and services to support independent living and develop/maintain a healthy active lifestyle.

Interested individuals can speak to their health care provider about a social prescription.
