Keralty Compassionate Communities (KCC) had the privilege of participating in "The Power of Connection: Social Prescribing to Combat Isolation and Loneliness", a groundbreaking summit hosted by UJA-Federation of New York in Manhattan.

Our Executive Director, Camila Ronderos, joined thought leaders from across health, philanthropy, and community development to explore innovative, community-driven solutions for tackling loneliness and social isolation.

Bringing Together a Global Network for Social Prescribing

The event was a powerful exchange of knowledge and ideas, featuring experts from across the country—including Alan Siegel (@Social Prescribing US), Chris Appleton, Julia Hotz, and Tracy Parris-Benjamin—as well as global leaders from England’s National Academy for Social Prescribing. Together, they shared insights on how social prescribing can be integrated into healthcare systems to improve overall well-being and foster stronger, more connected communities.

A Growing Movement in Community Health

The momentum behind social prescribing is stronger than ever. As we work toward integrating community care models that prioritize connection, holistic well-being, and social support, we recognize the transformative potential of these efforts in improving health outcomes for individuals and families.

KCC is committed to being part of this movement, ensuring that our work continues to empower communities with the tools and resources they need to build resilient, connected, and thriving environments.
