Social Prescribing Webinar: From Sick Care to Health Care

Sometimes the most important prescription has nothing to do with medication – what if we could normalize prescribing gardening, sports, cooking classes, or art lessons to our patients?

Since 80-90% of health and well being is determined by non-medical factors, it is critical that we take initiative to address the social determinants of health through social prescribing to move from sick care to health care.
