Hello HPHP community!
Thank you for being here, whether you’re a long-time user or new to us. We appreciate everyone prioritizing their health and using our app to enjoy the outdoors in our beautiful (but currently scorching hot) state. Our HPHP web app launched in 2015 and quickly outgrew its initial capabilities. If you’ve been with us since then, thank you! Our iOS and Android apps launched just in time for the pandemic in March 2020, reminding us all of the importance of spending time outdoors for our well-being. Since then, over 13,000 Tennesseans have downloaded HPHP, we’ve sent out over 5,200 FREE rewards, added new features to the app, and we’ve received countless heartwarming stories of park discoveries and renewed health and relationships.
HPHP began as a grassroots program by a single park ranger to highlight the benefits of nature. Today, we are a non-profit organization funded by a grant from the TN State Department of Health, allowing us to offer the app and Rewards for free, which is always the goal. As we approach the final year of our grant and plan for future sustainability, we will start charging a small shipping fee for Rewards starting in August, ranging from $4 to $7 based on size and weight. Bundling Rewards to save on shipping is an option—just email us and let us know. Our goal is to be good stewards of our funding and ensure all Tennesseans can continue to “Discover Wellness in the Wild.”
Thank you, and happy trails! As always, we are here to answer your questions and we welcome your feedback.
