Episode notes
What's up in public health this week?
In this episode, we continue our conversation about social prescribing - an emerging approach to supporting health and well-being that connects people with community resources, groups, and activities that support overall health beyond traditional medical care.
As our Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) team continues their work to promote social prescribing throughout the county, we sit down with Jo Buckley, LCDHE's CHIP Coordinator and Mimi Ferrie Lee, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Dandelion Arts Collective, to discuss how the arts, social connection, and community engagement can positively impact mental and physical health.
