This photo says everything there is to know about Parks Health.

This is a photo of my dad and I.

Unfortunately, this is one of the only photos I have of us because my father died when I was 15. In fact, I found my father dead on our kitchen floor during Thanksgiving break in 1999.

He died of a stroke due to complications from obesity.

So what this photo says to me, and what I want it to say to you, is that this is a photo of two lives that missed out on limitless experiences and opportunities due to poor health, and it’s what I am here to prevent from happening in your lives, or your employees’ lives, through Parks Health.

I am not here to judge anyone about where you are, or how you got there, because I get it. I get what it’s like to arrive somewhere with your health and have no idea what got you there. I get what it’s like to lack the knowledge, resources, and environment to have known and done better for yourself. And, I get what it’s like to feel lost and uncertain about how to move forward in order to feel better.

So, what I want to do through Parks Health is to educate and guide you, so that you can live your life without those limitations.

Life is hard, but we all do lots of things that make it harder on ourselves, too. Things that keep us from reaching our goals, being our best selves, or full filling our potential. And we could all use a little help getting out of our own way, or knowing which way to go.

That’s what Parks Health is all about.

It’s about helping people take back control over their health and their health outcomes, and giving them the ability to do whatever they want to do to the best of their ability.
