via Town of Franklin:
"Franklin's Social Prescriptions initiative was recently featured by the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism (BINJ).
In 2025, the Town of Franklin became the first municipality in the country to adopt social prescribing, a healthcare approach that connects residents with arts, culture, recreation, and other community-based activities to help address social isolation and support overall well-being.
More than a year later, the program continues to make an impact through partnerships that connect residents to meaningful community experiences."
