Learn how we can transform our health and well-being, lower costs and boost the economic vitality of Eugene and Springfield by becoming a Blue Zones Community

PeaceHealth has a long history of inspiring well-being in Eugene and Springfield. As part of their vision, they're inviting community members to learn about the benefits of becoming a Blue Zones Community®.

“Blue Zones” are places where entire communities live significantly longer, healthier and more active lives. A National Geographic study identified the commonalities across the Blue Zones areas that have led to their longevity and vitality. In more recent years, 42 communities like ours have started on a journey to become a Blue Zones Community, and we’d like our community to be next.

This transformation is a multiyear, multidisciplinary effort that involves the entire community – schools, restaurants, grocery stores, government, businesses, faith-based organizations and individuals – and it only works if all of us get behind it.
