Irving is deeply committed to promoting the well-being of our community members. Through comprehensive well-being programming—focused on emotional and mental health, financial well-being, nutrition, and physical fitness—we’ve created a framework that supports our entire community. By integrating Blue Zones into our initiatives, we aim to extend this impact and create a brighter, healthier future for all residents, ensuring long-term success for everyone who lives and works in Irving.
What We Do
READINESS ASSESSMENT
Blue Zones experts will collaborate with leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period, we will: educate and mobilize local leaders and residents, evaluate the community’s current state of well-being, identify the highest priority strengths, challenges and opportunities, and produce and present a plan for community transformation.
FREE TOOLS
Blue Zones engages individual community members through online health and well-being assessments, the True Vitality® Test and the True Happiness® Test, the True Nutrition Test, and an interactive Blue Zones® Life Plan. All are available for free to all community members as part of the program. These customized online tools are designed to help raise individual awareness surrounding personal health and well-being, with the goal of increasing overall life expectancy.
MEET THE EXPERTS
The Blue Zones team is comprised of a range of inspirational, innovative community transformation and well-being experts.
“In an age when poor health seems so intractable, you’ve taken this community from a place of resignation to a place of hope.”
