A New Vision for Healthcare in America

Health Leads mobilizes college volunteers to connect patients and their families with the basic resources they need to be healthy.  With Health Leads, doctors can “prescribe” resources such as food, housing and heating assistance – just as they do medication.  Patients take their prescriptions to the clinic waiting room, where volunteers help “fill” them by connecting patients to community services.
