Building the Future of Healthcare: Global Social Prescribing Alliance Opens Free Global Membership

🌍 What keeps us well is more than medicine. Launched in 2021 by the UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA) is a worldwide network of partners leading the implementation and social revolution of social prescribing around the world. Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health & Wellbeing), our mission is to advance social prescribing through promotion, collaboration, and innovation. Together, we enable thriving communities to shape the future of healthcare while generating long-term value. 🌿🎨🏃‍♂️

A Message from Leadership “I’m delighted to announce that the Global Social Prescribing Alliance has now opened our free membership for everyone around the world engaging and implementing social prescribing,” said Gareth Presch, CEO of WHIS, alongside Dr. Patricia Welch Saleeby, Chair of GSPA. “Joining the Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA) is 100% free for all individuals and organizations exploring, delivering, or supporting social prescribing. Be part of the future of healthcare.”
