The Often-Unrecognized Engine of Health Equity: Recreational Therapy at the Intersection of Care and Social Change
While many healthcare providers now acknowledge that health disparities are preventable, Recreational Therapists, practitioners attuned to real-world factors that shape health outcomes, have consistently embedded this understanding into their practice, regardless of setting. This month, we highlight the essential yet often overlooked role of Recreational Therapy in promoting health equity. From removing access barriers to supporting trauma-informed care, advocating for change, and tracking community outcomes, Recreational Therapists are doing more than merely contributing to a more inclusive healthcare system: They are leading the way.
