Head outside to heal inside

Sure, enjoying the outdoors helps you stay active. But Mother Nature helps you be healthy lots of other ways, too. Just being outside can activate your body’s immune system, hormones, and natural chemicals. And the AHN Ecotherapy Trail helps you take full advantage of being outside and fills you in on the science behind its natural benefits. Check it out next time you’re at North Park.

Boost your health with mindfulness

We have more options to help you live in the moment and be in tune with what you’re sensing and feeling. See how AHN mindfulness programs can do wonders for your health.
