“We are so pleased by the amount of community support we have received since starting this project in Lake County,” said Jamey Gill, executive director of Blue Zones Project Lake County. “We are thrilled for this next step and to now have an office space right in the heart of Kelseyville, where we can continue our work with the community at large through people, places, and policy.”

Brought to Lake County through an innovative sponsorship by Adventist Health in collaboration with Sharecare Inc. and Blue Zones, LLC, the Blue Zones Project Lake County is a community-by-community well-being improvement initiative designed to enable community members to live longer, happier lives with lower rates of chronic diseases and a higher quality of life.

Based on principles discovered during an ongoing twenty-year longevity study developed by Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones and The Blue Zones Solution, Blue Zones Project® is designed to make healthy choices easier through permanent and semi-permanent changes to a community’s-built environment, public policies and social networks.
