What better view to have than one of the Rocky Mountains. The Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, now gives patients opportunities to view the mountains, even those patients who are restricted to their bed. Across town, the McKee Medical Center built a labyrinth by its Wellness Walk. Both of these added features are designed to encourage patients and their families to feel they are close to nature.
According to one study, health care providers like the two in Loveland, and many across the country are getting the message. Many are actually prescribing outdoor physical activity to either prevent or treat health problems resulting from inactivity and poor diet.
Good advice...get outside. Our journey through life should include, walks with nature.
