Peninsula Health Care District (PHCD) and Blue Zones, the global leader in longevity research and community well-being transformation, have announced a partnership to launch Blue Zones IgniteTM assessment in San Mateo County, reaching more than 200,000 residents served by PHCD across San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo, half of Foster City, and the southeast corner of South San Francisco.

Blue Zones uses an evidence-based, environmental approach to making healthy choices easier in the places where people spend the most time. Blue Zones will work with the Peninsula Health Care District and other community leaders to conduct an in-depth readiness and feasibility assessment to determine how to make it a healthier place to live, work, and thrive. Together with the community, the Blue Zones team will assess readiness and build a plan for change.ome text goes here
