Art Pharmacy

Art Pharmacy is a social prescribing company focused on improving mental health and strengthening social connection. We offer personalized non-clinical interventions—including arts and nature engagement through technology-enabled care navigation and our national network of community partners. Our platform supports health plans, public agencies, and educational institutions seeking innovative solutions to address loneliness, depression, and anxiety. With a goal of building community-based pathways to well-being, we integrate culturally responsive, evidence-informed social prescriptions into the broader care ecosystem. Since our founding in 2022, we have launched programs with major city governments, scaled across Medicaid and higher education populations, and delivered clinical and bottom line outcomes for people and systems.

Art Pharmacy, developed by SocialRx Inc., is a digital health platform that integrates arts-based social prescribing into mainstream healthcare systems to address mental health, loneliness, and social isolation. Its core product includes a mobile-first Digital Companion App for members—especially youth—that features personalized onboarding, behavioral nudges, and real-time engagement tracking, alongside an enterprise-facing ConnectRx™ platform that uses AI to match users to over 75,000 in-person arts and culture experiences. The system provides closed-loop reporting, automated communications, and is designed for integration with healthcare infrastructure like Medicaid MCOs, Medicare Advantage plans, and university wellness systems. Notable results from Art Pharmacy programs include a 22% improvement in behavioral health (measured by WHO-5 scores), a 73% adherence rate (nearly double that of common SSRIs), and high patient satisfaction, with 91% requesting program continuation and 90% likely to recommend their provider because of it. By linking non-clinical interventions with digital care navigation, Art Pharmacy reduces hospitalizations, improves care compliance, and supports data-driven, personalized care plans. It stands apart from wellness apps by offering evidence-backed, community-based engagement as a reimbursable, scalable healthcare solution.
