I am proud to share that the City of Jacksonville is now a @BlueZones Approved Worksite. Over the past two years, our team has been hard at work creating a culture of wellness within city government. From going tobacco-free, to expanding Employee Assistance Programs, to offering things like chair yoga, lunch-and-learns, and wellness activities that reduce stress and foster connection, we are leading by example and just getting started. We are grateful to have @BZPjacksonville as a partner on this journey and to be able to model what’s possible when a city leads with health, equity, and heart.

Thanks to @BZPjacksonville, we are in the midst of a five-year journey to become a city where people live better and longer.  As part of their CEO Roundtable today, I was honored to speak about our aligned vision of achieving that goal.  Let's continue to be a model of collaboration and work towards changing environments, policies, and systems to make the healthy choice the easy choice.

We’re gearing up for the Northwest Classic this Saturday and are challenging the community to a friendly competition where the winners receive a FREE TAILGATE SPOT to next year’s game. Visit BlueZonesProjectJacksonville.com/NorthwestClass… for full details!
