Abstract

Highlights• British Columbia (BC) has developed a province-wide social prescribing model supporting older adults through close partnerships between health care and community organizations.• A regional health authority, Fraser Health, has a specific regional team focussing on integrating social prescribing into the health system through meaningful engagement and continuous co-creation with multisectoral partners, using strategies such as change management and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles.• Environmental and organizational support are big facilitators that have supported the continuation of the designated integration effort.• Long-term funding and more partnerships between health care and community organizations will be critical to sustaining the social prescribing model in BC.
