Live longer, better
Blue Zones Project® encourages changes in our community that lead to healthier options. When our entire community participates—from our worksites and schools to our restaurants and grocery stores—the small changes contribute to huge benefits for all of us: lowered healthcare costs, improved productivity, and ultimately, a higher quality of life.
Blue Zones Project Hawaii and our partners are proud to have surpassed our goals for transformative change and well-being improvement across the state. After a decade of dedicated efforts and success in our communities, Blue Zones Project Hawaii is winding down our operations at the end of 2024.
HMSA brought Blue Zones Project to Hawaii and has served as our exclusive sponsor since 2014. Their sponsorship and investment in well-being helped shape the environment of our communities to foster healthier living.
Thank you to our well-being champions across Hawaii who supported Blue Zones Project in their organizations, at home, and with their family, friends, and communities.
