Activity Partners

Our activity partners include fitness professionals and recreation facilities that can provide support and access to individuals who have received prescriptions from their healthcare provider. They are dedicated to providing a direct service to patients and have the amenities and knowledge to meet the needs of patients who are new to a physically active lifestyle.
