Social prescribing is a new health service being offered at Chigamik Community Health Centre in Midland that puts the focus on holistic health. The service connects people who don’t have the resources to engage in exercise, music, art and spiritual resources in the community to boost their overall health. After a one-year pilot project wrapped up this month (in which approximately 300 people took part), Chigamik determined it was a valuable service and is continuing it.

“What I think is important about social prescribing is understanding the whole person and not just worrying about one’s physical health. It’s their mental health, their spiritual being and their physical health,” says Suzanne Marchand, executive director of Chigamik.
