Hampton Roads Social Prescribing Network
The Hampton Roads Social Prescribing Network (HRSPN) launched in December 2024, following the success of our first-ever Social Prescribing Roundtable Convening, which brought together leaders from healthcare, the arts, and community organizations to discuss advancing social prescribing in Hampton Roads.
The HRSPN meets quarterly to sustain relationships, share best practices, and drive local implementation efforts.
Integrative Programs
Healing happens in many ways, and our integrative programs connect the healing arts directly to healthcare and community settings. Each initiative is designed to meet the unique needs of the individuals and communities we serve, creating opportunities for healing and growth in meaningful and accessible ways.
