Bartlett Regional | House Calls | Summer 2019

www.bartletthospital.org 13 HEALTH! Get Outside, It’s Good for Your Health is a collaborative campaign from the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Research Station and Bartlett Regional Hospital Go outside—even when the weather’s not good Here in the largest coniferous rain forest in the world, go figure, it rains—sometimes lots, even in the summer! A wet summer day didn’t stop these City and Borough of Juneau and Bartlett Regional Hospital parents and kids from heading out on the East Glacier trail. The reward—feeling better outside than in! or with a buddy to socialize. Work out your muscles on a local hill, bike on a neighborhood street, or walk one lap and jog the next at a nearby school track. Or treat yourself to a walk in the woods, in a meadow or along a stream at a park. You can turn exercise into family time too. Play on a playground with your child (or grandchild), or take a nature hike together. After all, everybody deserves to have fun outdoors. Source: American Council on Exercise
