RxPlay is a program that leverages the connection between patient and clinician, proactively utilizing nature, physical activity and play as key components in creating positive physical, mental and spiritual health outcomes for all ages and communities in our region.
Prescription play programs are proliferating around the country, as more and more health care communities view connection to parks and natural areas as a cost-effective primary care solution to dealing with a range of physical and mental health ailments. RxPlay provides a new set of options for clinicians to use in addressing the challenges brought on by a range of negative social and environmental factors.
RxPlay is an opportunity for nature-focused organizations to reframe programming to intentionally highlight and leverage the health benefits of their efforts.
