'It changed my life': Pilot project in Ontario gains great feedback

It's great to see our colleagues in Toronto gaining such positive press coverage for their work on social prescribing (all based around our model of Collaborative Practice following training we delivered back in 2018).

The article tells the stories of several people who take part in the social programmes at Stonegate Community Health Centre. The centre is one of 11 sites across Ontario taking part in a pilot project to test social prescribing — encouraging patients to enhance their well-being with healthier food, more physical activity and greater social contact.

A final report on the social prescription pilot project is expected in March 2020, but the team reports that other provinces in Canada are already showing an interest in the work.
