## Description

Julia Hotz is a solutions-focused journalist, author, speaker, and adviser whose work explores evidence-backed ways to address social and health challenges. She wrote The Connection Cure, published by Simon & Schuster and described as the first book to examine the science, stories, and spread of social prescribing. Social prescribing connects people with non-medical, community-based activities such as art, nature, movement, and service. Hotz has reported on efforts to expand these approaches, with her work featured by NPR, CNN, PBS, and numerous other news outlets and podcasts.

As an adviser to Social Prescribing USA, Walk With A Doc, and the IBSA Foundation for Scientific Research, Hotz shares her expertise through keynote lectures, workshops, and staff trainings for city governments, health systems, universities, and community groups. She also supports solutions-focused journalism at the Solutions Journalism Network, helping reporters investigate evidence-backed responses to major problems. Her website offers information about her book, articles, media appearances, lectures, workshops, and training, along with a newsletter for readers interested in The Connection Cure.
