  • Partnering with doctors and other health care providers to prescribe time outdoors. Parkscriptions connects patients with positive outdoor experiences for healthier lifestyles and improved mental and physical health.  

We have launched Parkscriptions.org to enable health care providers and the public to access our ParkFinder.org tool to find public parks and open space in Whatcom County and across Washington State. 

Our Park Finder tool is powered by Park Rx America.


DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION:
VALUES WE LIVE BY, GOALS TO ACHIEVE AND STRATEGIES TO GET US THERE

Recreation Northwest requested and received technical assistance from the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program. Our workgroup produced this document as a result to help guide us and our community.

 

Parkscriptions has two core values, listed below, each with a goal with associated strategies that express and embody those values. 

#1 Increase community health through equitable access to the outdoors.

#2 Providing leadership: We value a “shared-commitment” approach to meet community needs.

Parkscriptions Value Statements: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Definition: Values and principles statements reflect a group’s core beliefs, the deep convictions and priorities that shape its culture and spirit, and inspire and guide its choices in the way it operates to achieve its mission and vision. It helps define the operational culture for employees and volunteers, as well as for donors.
