RT: Connecting the Dots for Health Equity

Session Description: Parks and Recreation is an essential dot in the big picture of Health Equity for communities. Are you ready to consider Parks and Recreation’s role in the health system? We are in a prime position to promote health through physical activity, access to spaces and place, connection with nature, and bringing community members together both virtually and in person. By discussing our roles, acknowledging our ability to make an impact and identifying potential partners in our communities we can make the healthy choice the equitable choice. In this workshop we’ll take a close look at what health really is, gain an understanding of health equity, and consider our role in the public’s health. Join us for a candid and interactive discussion to try and answer these compelling and complex questions.
