Testimonials

From Our Members

  • “This was AMAZING! I got exposed to an entirely new kind of music and have been listening to the genre on Spotify, which always puts me in a good mood. I wish I could have SocialRx for the rest of my life.”


    University Student Member

  • “It raises my spirits because I always have something I'm looking forward to. It's not always about what I can come up with out of my own pocket. It feels like somebody actually cares about my well-being, my mindset.”

    Older Adult Member

  • “She is actually doing so well! … Her depression and anxiety are being managed … Thank you so much for the lessons and experiences. Her therapist really wants her in an activity outside of the house with her peers.”

    Parent of Youth Member

  • “It was great! It's so good to get out of my head and into my body.”

    University Student Member

  • “When you're sick and going through medical stuff — medical bills, medical tests — you don't really take the time to think about doing something for yourself that you can enjoy. So when I see those emails come through, I'm like, okay, somebody's thinking about me.”

    Older Adult Member

  • “It was calming. I got time to really settle all my loud thoughts and just focus on what I was doing in the moment, which is something I'm usually never able to do. I am entirely grateful for the peaceful experience.”

    Youth Member

  • “I loved that it got me out of my bubble on campus and I was able to interact with people from the community. I also felt inspired by the artwork on display.”

    University Student Member

  • “It encouraged me to get up, get dressed, and go do more things. It really extended my life.”

    Older Adult Member

  • “Since being part of the program, I have seen him more motivated, happy, healthy, less depressed, less anxious, and actually setting long-term goals.”

From Our Partners

  • “Your team brings innovation, responsiveness, and a deep commitment to advancing health equity. We have seen encouraging feedback from both patients and staff, particularly around increased engagement, improved well-being, and a stronger sense of connection to supportive resources.”


    Glenda Francis, Director of Community Health Operations, Wellstar Health System

  • “SocialRx helps counseling centers to do what counseling centers are supposed to be doing — provide professional counseling and mental health support — while also allowing us to address the underlying issues that might be contributing to mental health symptoms.”

    Dr. Aaron T. Barnes, PsyD, Director of Counseling and Psych Services, University of Arizona

  • “The ability for SocialRx to bill insurance, to bill Medicaid, to actually connect with the social community groups and facilitate that relationship and do all of that work for us, it takes a lot of onus off my patients.”

    Dr. Emily Pinto-Taylor, Specialist in Palliative Care at Grady Health System and Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine

  • “I'm so honored to be a part of this organization's network and all the “good vibrations” you put out into the world, especially right now when it's so sorely needed. Thank you for all that you do. And thank you for including me.”

Our partners choose to work with us because we measure what matters. And we prove that it works.

Social prescribing is intuitive: meaningful connection improves wellbeing. But intuition alone doesn't change practice.

That's why we track outcomes from day one using the same clinically validated tools the healthcare and research communities already trust: the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, UCLA-3 Loneliness Scale, and PHQ-ADS (including the PHQ-2 and GAD-2), which are administered at intake and throughout every member's journey.

After 3 or more social prescription activities:

Data as of July 2026, based on changes in member scores from baseline to most recent engagement.

The data tell a clear story. Members experience meaningful, measurable improvements across mental health, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. For the clinicians and health systems who work with us, that evidence is everything. It transforms social prescribing into something our partners can integrate into care pathways and scale with confidence.

We're not just proving that social prescribing works. We're building the evidence base that makes it standard care.

Research

The clinical case for community.

As the leading social prescribing delivery platform in the United States, SocialRx has unprecedented access to implementation data and real-world outcomes across diverse patient populations, clinical settings, and community partnerships. This position gives us a unique advantage: we understand not just what works, but how to scale it and measure it rigorously.

We partner with researchers at leading academic and medical institutions to translate that operational insight into peer-reviewed evidence. By publishing our findings, from clinical outcomes to implementation science, we're building the U.S.-based evidence record that social prescribing needs to become standard care across the nation.

Because we’re not just studying the model. We’re advancing the field.
