Social Prescribing is a person-centered, community-based approach that connects seniors with non-medical resources and activities to improve their overall wellness. Our program recognizes that health extends beyond medical care to include social connections, meaningful activities, and community support.

How It Works

  • Receive Referral – Accept referrals from healthcare providers, community partners, or self-referrals
  • Needs Assessment – Understand your unique situation and challenges
  • Resource Matching – Connect you with appropriate community resources and services
  • Co-Develop Wellness Plan – Create a personalized plan together based on your goals and interests
  • Follow Up – Provide ongoing support to ensure your plan is working for you
