This course shares best practices for creating an environment of well-being and and discusses the economic benefits of a healthier community.

Learning Objectives:

  • The secrets to longevity: The research found by National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner about the longest lived people in the world and their environments.
  • Implementation: How did Fort Worth create an environment of Well-being? Did it work?
  • Outcomes & City Partnerships: What were some key changes that city planners made to improve our built environment.

Blue Zones Project is a community-wide well-being improvement initiative to help make healthy choices easier for everyone in Fort Worth. A vital part of Fort Worth’s Healthiest City Initiative, Blue Zones Project® encourages changes in our community environment 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.


Speaker: Ricky Cotto, Director, Community Engagement, Texas Health Resources
