Special Edition - Social Prescribing USA Newsletter

Special Events Newsletter

This is a special version of our newsletter because there are many upcoming events we want you to know about, including a great program NEXT WEEK in the Bay Area that will offer digital access to those outside the region

We also want to make sure you see a new op-ed this week on social prescribing in Scientific American. This is the year that the movement has gone mainstream in the U.S. and this is a perfect example of it!
