Canadian Doctors can now Prescribe National Park Visits to Patients to Reduce Stress by Spending Time in NatureCanadian doctors can now give free annual passes to the country’s parks as a prescription. This initiative, called PaRx, is a health initiative launched by the BC Parks Foundation in 2019. The program is part of an effort to increase access to nature. The goal is for residents to improve their physical and mental health through traversing the national parks."Given the growing body of evidence that indicates nature time can improve all kinds of different physical and mental health conditions, we're hoping that our PaRx program not only improves patient health, but reduces costs to the healthcare system, and helps to grow the number of people who are more engaged environmental advocates," coordinator for the BC Parks Foundation Prama Rahman elaborated. Image credit: Redd#healthcare #mentalhealth #Canada #prescription #parks
