NatureRx Rutland County
Come Alive Outside is thrilled that Community Health is sponsoring and having such a hands-on partnership with the NatureRx program in Rutland County, Vermont.
CAO will direct the NatureRx program, conducting two twelve-week cohorts in 2022. Community Health providers will refer patients to this innovative program and a CAO NatureRx Coordinator will deliver one-on-one health coaching, as well as tools for setting and tracking goals. Group walks will take place at two locations in the county biweekly.
