"While social prescribing has been active for decades in other parts of the world with socialized national health systems, no commercial entity has been able to scale social prescribing - as a care delivery model within the US healthcare system - until now," Art Pharmacy CEO Chris Appleton told Boston.com.
"The care navigator will use the information they get from their conversation with the patient or the member and then they will make recommendations with the patient," he said. "The patient gets 12 doses of arts and culture."
"I hope other health providers sign up to participate so that the program can one day be available to all residents, but that could take up to 10 years to implement," Michael Bobbit, executive director of Mass Cultural Council, said.
"Art Pharmacy has an explicit goal of revolutionizing US healthcare with social prescribing," Appleton said.
