The Nature Prescription: Heart Health Meets Land Stewardship With Devon Giordano & Dr. Sean Donahoe

Your heart lives in a neighborhood, a watershed, and a daily routine. In this episode of Place As Medicine, a cardiologist and a conservation leader make the case for a “nature prescription” that’s practical, equitable, and surprisingly measurable. Host Carrie Denning Jackson is joined by Devon Giordano (Executive Director, The Long Island Conservancy) and Dr. Sean Donahoe (Director of Ambulatory Cardiac Research, Northwell Health). They talk about how nature supports cardiovascular health, why walking is such an effective starting point, and why restoring ecosystems on Long Island is also a public health story.
