Prescribe Outside

Prescribe  Outside is a collaboration with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Awbury Arboretum, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Let’s Go Outdoors, and the U.S. Forest Service that connects primary care pediatric health and wellness with nature and time spent being active outdoors. The program aims to help families locate and use safe, accessible, and convenient public green space and increase their nature experiences.

Research shows that spending time in nature is good for your health - mind, body, and spirit. All around the world, doctors have begun prescribing time in nature to help patients lead healthier, happier lives.
