Episode Details

Doctors have long prescribed pills and procedures. But for some people, that isn’t enough. Sanjay sits down with Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, to explore the rise of social prescribing—linking patients to things like volunteering, art, or nature—and how a simple question, “What matters to you?”, can change the way people heal.
