Health Leads is a national non-profit organization based in Boston with a stated vision of “health, dignity, and well-being for every person, in every community.” The organization runs community-based programs and learning initiatives across the U.S. that focus on addressing social, racial, and economic factors that impact health.Health Leads facilitates the treatment of underlying social and environmental causes of patients' health problems by working with doctors in participating clinics on "prescriptions" for things such as food, fuel assistance, housing or other resources for their patients the same way they might prescribe medication. Patients then work with an onsite trained volunteer to access public benefits and community resources to fulfill these "prescriptions." Currently, Health Leads operates at 20 desks with 15 clinical partners in six U.S. cities (Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, New York, Providence, and Washington, D.C.). from Wikipedia
