Social prescribing is a means of connecting patients to a range of non-clinical services in the community to improve their health and well-being. It builds on the evidence that addressing social determinants of health such as socioeconomic status, social inclusion, housing, and education is key to improving health outcomes.
Keralty Compassionate Communities (KCC) had the privilege of participating in "The Power of Connection: Social Prescribing to Combat Isolation and Loneliness", a groundbreaking summit hosted by UJA-Federation of New York in Manhattan.
Our Executive Director, Camila Ronderos, joined thought leaders from across health, philanthropy, and community development to explore innovative, community-driven solutions for tackling loneliness and social isolation.
The momentum behind social prescribing is stronger than ever. As we work toward integrating community care models that prioritize connection, holistic well-being, and social support, we recognize the transformative potential of these efforts in improving health outcomes for individuals and families.
KCC is committed to being part of this movement, ensuring that our work continues to empower communities with the tools and resources they need to build resilient, connected, and thriving environments.
💙Join us on March 4th for an insightful discussion on Loneliness and Compassion.
