Ashwin Kotwal and Carla Perissinotto Receive $300,000 Grant to Enhance Social Prescribing Decision Support for Community Health

Congratulations to Ashwin Kotwal, MD, MS and Carla Perissinotto, MD, MHS on receiving a $300,000 award from the RRF Foundation for Aging for their innovative project, "Improving Social Prescribing Decision Support for Community and Health Organizations"!  

This important project focuses on adapting an existing Social Prescribing Decision Support Tool for use in community-based organizations. The tool will be tested within two established community programs to enhance its practical application. A key aspect of the work is tailoring the tool to community settings that offer a comprehensive range of social interventions, from low to high intensity, addressing diverse domains of social connection such as structure, function, and quality.  

Congratulations again, Dr. Kotwal and Dr. Perissinotto, for advancing the field of social prescribing and driving meaningful change in community health!
