Blue Zones Health
Blue Zones Health is a primary care delivery model that focuses on treating the underlying causes of chronic disease and helping reduce dependence on medications and surgery. We offer care virtually nationwide and in-person at a growing number of clinic locations. Our approach to healthcare combines insights from 25+ years of Blue Zones’ identification and research into the longest-lived peoples and application of that research to improve well-being at the population level, with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s evidence-based physician training and certifications. In a peer-reviewed study, we demonstrated our model’s ability to meet the IHI Triple Aim of better patient outcomes, for lower cost, with greater patient satisfaction. Because our innovative model reduces the need for high-cost invasive care, we redeploy dollars into proactive prevention and disease reversal programs which allows us to offer our services at no or low additional cost for patients with participating insurances and Medicare. Our employed and affiliated physicians provide patients with personalized care pathways based on the Blue Zones Power 9® principles, including support groups, classes, and access to experts such as dietitians and coaches.
