Social prescribing

Social prescribing, a clinical tool to help physicians treat patients that are experiencing loneliness, links patients with nonclinical supports in their community. The type of supports patients are referred to can be as wide reaching as trips to the museum or dance classes. Social prescriptions for sport and physical activity programs offer not only social interaction, but a chance to increase fitness and health as well!
