Overview

Connecting
to nature

Make nature time easily accessible for patients with a PaRx nature prescription and help Canadians get healthy by nature. PaRx Nature Connectors is a new national community for trained practitioners who help people follow through on their nature prescriptions.

While only licensed healthcare providers can prescribe with PaRx, Connectors offer the practical support many patients need — guidance on what to do outside, confidence to get started, and help building lasting habits. This program creates an official pathway for aligned professionals to contribute their expertise and strengthen the impact of nature prescriptions across Canada.
