Abstract

Social prescribing blends the social and medical model to promote overall health. Social prescribing has been used around the world with increasing use within the United States. Countries abroad have social prescribing infrastructure. Within the United States, health systems are adopting social prescribing programs to promote health among members. Connecting people with community resources, encouraging wellness activities, and valuing nonpharmacologic interventions are all aspects of social prescribing. Social prescribing can be implemented at system levels and also within individual practices. Social prescribing offers a renewed commitment to addressing holistic health and well-being.
