Blue Zones Greater Chattanooga

Chattanooga, TN

 
 

Could Greater Chattanooga Become a Blue Zone?

This is the story of a Southern community who is trying to make the healthy choice the easy choice. Our vision: For vibrant health to become the NORM in the heart of the South!

Our Core Focus Areas

  • Social Determinants of Health/Health Equity

  • Access to high quality food and healthy cooking skills 

  • Built environments that promote moving freely and effortlessly

  • Building strong, creative, culturally-integrated communities

  • Reduction of toxin exposure through tobacco-cessation, clean water, soil, & energy

April 2022: A public event at UTC showed overwhelmingly positive feedback for Greater Chattanooga to begin it’s journey towards becoming the first Blue Zone in Tennessee

This is a ground up process. We need passionate individuals who can help grow this vision. If you are interested in participating, please email Bill Rush at brush@met-min.org
