- New research demonstrating how the human body responds to nature settings indicates that being in natural environments can be a powerful antidote to the challenging stresses of everyday life. Engagement with nature, including outdoor play and time spent in green spaces, holds potential for sustaining health and well being for persons at all life stages. Indeed, if it can foster resilience and promote healing after illness, injury, and trauma, should doctors be prescribing contact with nature? In this Medical Center Hour, a trio of local experts explores the benefits of human-nature connection and examines how communities and institutions—including UVA and UVA Health—can design, build, and provide for persons to have healing engagement with nature.
