Blue Zones is the proven innovator for improving the well-being of large populations, with remarkable success in cities, counties, and states across America.

In this phase, Blue Zones global experts are performing a Readiness Assessment, a structured exploration of Petaluma. They are working with our local community leaders and organizations to learn and assess the state of our well-being. The Readiness Assessment marks the first step in a three-phase process of becoming a Blue Zones Community.
