SALINAS WILL CELEBRATE BECOMING A CERTIFIED BLUE ZONES COMMUNITY® WITH A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

Blue Zones Project Monterey County is proud to share that Salinas has
been named a Certified Blue Zones Community®. Certification recognizes Salinas’s well-being
transformation through successful implementation of Blue Zones Project® by Sharecare, pioneer in
population health programming that brings evidence-based best practices in built environment, policy,
and social networks to participating communities.

Brought to Salinas in 2018 through the collaborative efforts of Salinas Valley Health, Taylor Farms, and
Montage Health, the well-being improvement initiative focuses on optimizing surroundings to make
healthy choices easier and helps people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. As a result of its efforts,
Salinas has made it easier for residents to move naturally, eat better, develop healthy social circles, and
live with purpose.

Blue Zones Project Monterey County will celebrate their achievement with a free picnic-style community
event. There will be free giveaways, entertainment, activities, and more! Bring your bike or scooter to
participate in the bike rodeo. Enjoy delicious, nutritious offerings from local food trucks (food available
for purchase). For event registration, visit: https://bit.ly/BZPCertification
