One of the wellness providers of the agency says they plan to offer nature walks, gardening, yoga and other holistic practices.

They hope that the methods of healing will help those, especially in marginalized communities.
"So family members can come and sit and we can discuss their progress and their journey," Maldonado said. "And just really be able to hone in on the senses that nature gives.”
The health center plans to implement nature-based treatment in December.
