What We Do
READINESS ASSESSMENT
Blue Zones experts collaborated with community leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period, we: educated and mobilized local leaders and residents, evaluated the community’s current state of well-being, identified the highest priority strengths, challenges, and opportunities, and produced and presented a plan for community transformation.
