Blue Zones is working collaboratively with Adventist Health, a large faith-based health system in Northern California, to support the initiation of a community movement in all their Adventist Health communities. This effort involves businesses, governments, universities, and non-profits joining to support an integrated approach to improve the well-being of the community. The healthy choice becomes the easy choice through permanent changes to the environment, policy, and new supporting social connections. Through this collaboration and movement, communities will naturally adopt healthy behaviors, their well-being improves – and they live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. As well-being improves, employers begin to experience lower health care cost trends and higher productivity, driving new economic development while making each community an even more desirable place to live, work, and play.
This position will be accountable for the implementation of the Blue Zones Project™ (BZP) throughout multiple communities with a goal of driving community engagement and an overall improvement in the communities’ well-being.
