The Blue Zones Project was developed to improve the health and well-being of Hawai‘i, “where we live, learn, work and play.” Blue Zones Project is a community-wide well-being improvement initiative to help make healthy choices easier in the state. The initiative was brought to Hawai‘i as a part of an innovative partnership between HMSA and Blue Zones Project by Healthways.
