âStudies have shown that spending time outdoors, in nature, can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression,â said Steve Massey, Westfields Hospital & Clinic president. âAt Westfields, weâve been very deliberate to promote and protect the natural environment of our campus, to enhance the healing environment for patients and the community. We welcome members of the public to spend time walking the trails on our campus.â
