Blue Zones Project is a community-wide well-being improvement initiative to help make healthy choices easier in Hawaii.

Blue Zones Project engages communities to transform local, county and statewide policy to create lasting sustainable well-being improvement. Blue Zones Project focuses on the three policy areas of built environment, food policy, and tobacco policy. Each policy area has an established target designed to build upon the good work taking place, achieve meaningful change, and recognize the scale, geographic boundaries, and other unique characteristics of Hawaii.

The Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) has brought Blue Zones Project® to Hawaii to transform our state into an even better place to live, work, and play. To reach that goal, we’ll help residents make small changes so we can all enjoy longer, happier, and healthier lives.
Small changes can lead to big benefits for our community: lower health care costs, higher productivity, and ultimately, a better quality of life. We look forward to working together with organizations, communities, and people across the state to make well-being a priority.
