PLANO, Texas, Oct. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Village
Health Partners has a rich connection to the North Texas community, building on local
partnerships for the past 11 years. The physicians at Village
Health Partners collaborate with a team of local dietitians,
counselors, pharmacists, and many specialists to care for patients.
In recent years, Village Health Partners has expanded its
partnerships beyond a traditional medical scope and has teamed up
with local businesses and nonprofits to promote whole-person
wellness. Comprehensive healthcare takes a village, and Village
Health Partners is committed to furthering these local partnerships
to empower patients with additional options that elevate their
care.
Village Health Partners is proud to announce its newest
partnership with the City of Plano
to actively promote Plano Parks and Recreation Services. In
addition, with the City of Plano's
support, Village Health Partners providers will begin the regular
use of park prescriptions to encourage an active and healthy
lifestyle. Park prescriptions will include a map of City of Plano parks and suggestions for
activities that patients can enjoy at parks throughout Plano.
"In today's healthcare environment, too many patients are put in
a position to receive care that is not on their terms," Chief
Operations Officer Patrick Figures
said. "Village Health Partners believes that by empowering patients
to explore recreation resources in their area, more patients will
be able to thrive with a lessened need for expensive medications
and other burdensome treatments."
Providers at Village Health Partners will begin utilizing these
prescriptions as part of the care plan physicians create for
patients and will be used to supplement other recommendations from
the physicians.
"Village Health Partners is promoting a care plan that every
Plano resident has access to –
regardless of financial means," Figures said. "By helping to
connect our patients to these services and encouraging increased
time and energy outdoors, we believe we're making the best possible
investment in the future of our community."
Plano's Parks and Recreation
Department maintains more than 70 parks and trails that patients
can enjoy to lead their healthiest lives.
