The Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, in partnership with the City of Nanaimo, Island Health, Shared Care, Vancouver Island University and the Nanaimo Family Life Association, is excited to introduce a new Social Prescribing program.

This initiative aims to support isolated and lonely seniors by connecting them with a link worker who will help them develop a personalized social plan. Through this program, seniors can access a variety of non-clinical, community-based services such as social programs, community activities, physical activity classes, and caregiver support groups.
