Join Us As We

Activate Pine County, Minnesota

We are taking part in the global movement proven to improve health and well-being for entire communities, cities, and counties. This new way of thinking and working will enhance the places we live, work, learn, and play.

Pine County is bringing together civic, business, and community leaders to work with Blue Zones. They are beginning a community assessment that would determine how to make it a healthier place to live, work, grow up, and grow old.

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

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

Community Value Presentation
