When the pandemic ravaged our mountain town, the entire community stepped in and discovered how the power of “social prescription” held the key to the health of the entire community. Dr. Karin Kausky has performed full service family practice in Whistler BC since 1993. She is passionate about the value of a thriving primary care system and the concept of intimately linking primary care to community. In this TED talk, Dr Kausky explains the social prescription and why it is as vital as vaccines and other medical advancements for the overall health of our community. Watch the TED Talk here.
