NEEF trained New Orleans area physicians and other healthcare providers on the health benefits of prescribing nature and connecting kids with programs at local nature sites, in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS). This workshop was the second of its kind since 2013 in New Orleans, and built upon the collaborative successes and relationships NEEF and NPS have fostered in the community.
