info_outlineIn September of 2022, we had Michelle Pabis of Honor Health talking about the initiative of getting Blue Zones off the ground. In a short time of about 2 years, we’ve gone from initiative to kick off and I’m excited to have Executive Director of Blue Zones Scottsdale Sarah Kearney with us this week. Sarah comes to Blue ZOnes with an EXTENSIVE love of Scottsdale. She held many positions at Experience Scottsdale for over 16 years. She’s held many leadership positions such as Board President for Scottsdale Leadership, Board President for Community Celebrating Diversity, Board Member for Scottsdale Sister Cities, Officer of Membership for Millennials in Travel, and the Vice President of Community Outreach at GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix/Scottsdale. Seems to only make sense that she lead the Blue Zone initiative for Scottsdale.
Blue Zones Project makes healthy choices easy through permanent and semi-permanent changes to human made surroundings, policies, systems, and social networks. Instead of a focus on individual behavior change (diet and exercise), it improves the places and spaces people spend the most time so healthy choices are easier. It is community-led and focuses on improving the well-being of the entire community. The project seeks to improve the overall well-being of residents, measured by overall physical, social, and emotional health. A higher level of well-being leads to lower healthcare costs, higher productivity, increased economic vitality, and offers benefits for everybody.
