Event Details
Jump-start the new year with a virtual conversation with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. Blending science, storytelling and self-discovery, Hotz explores the growing field of social prescribing, a movement in which health professionals ask not “What’s the matter with you?” but “What matters to you?”
Register today to discover how social prescribing can help you live a healthier, more connected life.
