Blue Zone representatives will be in Marshall County to meet with local leaders to determine how to make communities better in terms of enhancing the lifespan and well-being of residents community-wide, improving employee and student productivity, and boosting economic vitality and development.
The Marshall County Blue Zones Activate Assessment kicks off Tuesday, June 22 at Cana Hall at the Lindenwood Retreat and Conference Center in Plymouth, initiated by the Marshall County Crossroads Regional Stellar Communities Initiative and the Health and Wellness Committee.
The first phase of a Blue Zones community transformation is the assessment and feasibility analysis where experts collaborate with community leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period, Blue Zones educates and mobilizes local leaders and residents, evaluates the community’s current state of well-being, identifies the highest priority strengths, challenges and opportunities, and produces and presents a plan for community transformation.
After the June assessment, the Blue Zones team will produce a report on the findings along with a detailed proposal that discusses top opportunities and recommendations.
The Marshall County Community Foundation, Saint Joseph Health System, the United Way of Marshall County, Dr. Joel Schumacher, and Dr. Tod and Ellen Stillson helped to make this event possible.
