Social Prescribing

Through Social Prescribing, a Manitoba Health Care Provider will refer a patient/client to a Senior Resource Coordinator who will work with the client to jointly identify and consider community-based programs or services that can improve the client’s social connections, health and well-being.

Social Prescribing can take various forms, but all involve connecting a patient, based on their individual needs, to resources in their community.
