Health and well-being can be improved by medicine, but can purpose and personal connection achieve similar effects? With the advent of social prescribing, a model of care delivery in which a health care professional formally prescribes non-clinical community activities, including artistic and active endeavors, medical professionals are testing a new way to improve employee well-being.
In this episode, journalist Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, explores social prescribing and shares how it can improve health outcomes for patients with depression, anxiety, diabetes, stress, and more.
