Nature, Art and Service as Medicine- Author Talk at the Scotch Plains Library

Join us for an online author talk with Julia Hotz, author of 'The Connection Cure'

(Connie Pinkowski)

Join us at the Scotch Plains Public Library on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 2:00pm for the second talk in our new Virtual Author Talk series.


Jump start your new year with us as we chat virtually with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging.
The Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing (a model of care delivery that enables health professionals to formally prescribe non-clinical community activities to improve patient health).
