We are Monterey County

Blue Zones Project is a community-wide, evidence-based approach to improving health and well-being that makes healthier choices easier for everyone living in Monterey County, California.

Blue Zones Project® came to Monterey County in August of 2018 at the invitation of Salinas Valley Health to support their vision of making Monterey County an even healthier, happier, and more vibrant place to live. Sharecare, Inc. and Blue Zones Project – Monterey County sponsors (Salinas Valley Health, Taylor Farms, and Montage Health) share a commitment to improving the well-being of Monterey County, thereby lowering healthcare claims, increasing productivity, and improving the economy and quality of life for all residents. 

While many traditional health initiatives focus on diet and exercise programs, we focus on comprehensively changing a community’s environment so that individuals are nudged into making healthy choices. We take a systematic approach to improving well-being through policy, building design, social networks, and built environment. By optimizing the places that we live, work, and play, we can make healthy choices the easy choices, so we naturally adopt healthy behaviors. 

Commitment to 
health equity, diversity,
and inclusion
