Description
June 19, 2019
CORRECTION: A previous version of this video names the community health centre issuing social prescriptions as the Georgian Bay Family Health Centre. The correct health centre that is using social prescriptions is the South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre. Global News sincerely apologizes for this error.
An Ontario pilot program is giving out drug-free prescriptions to solve some health care problems. Farah Nasser explains how social prescriptions can help loneliness.
