What We Do
READINESS ASSESSMENT
Blue Zones experts collaborated with leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. We shared our final assessment report and proposal with the Steering Committee on November 15, 2022. Read the report of our findings below.
FREE TOOLS
Blue Zones engages individual community members through online health and well-being assessments, the True Vitality® Test and True Happiness® Test, and an interactive Blue Zones® Life Challenge. 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.
