Two Years Later, Double Up Food Bucks Continues to Give More Bang for Your Fresh Produce Buck.

Students at two Fort Worth schools will return in the fall to find recess a lot more fun thanks to colorful sidewalk games created by Texas Health volunteers and Blue Zones Project Fort Worth. The games, including hopscotch, chess, tic-tac-toe and basketball, were recently painted at Versia Williams and M.H. Moore elementary schools as part of a “recess refresh” to the paved areas of the schools’ playgrounds.

North Texas Healthy Communities, the non-profit arm of Texas Health that implements Blue Zones Project in Fort Worth, is partnering with nationally known stress coach and wellness educator Nicole Porter to present a free, year-long webinar series designed to engage, empower and provide busy professionals with tools for a better mindset and overall health. The first of the series will be presented on Wednesday, June 15 from noon to 1 p.m. and recorded to accommodate work/life balance schedules. Future webinars will be offered every third Wednesday of the month through November. To enhance webinar discussions, participants may submit questions to Nicole in advance through a link provided with registration confirmation. Summer presentations include:

When we think of first aid, the first things that come to mind are usually CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, or tending to an injury. While it is important to know how to respond when someone has a physical emergency, knowing what to do in the case of a mental health crisis can also be potentially lifesaving. 

Walk or bike to dine June 3-5 and get FREE STUFF to help you make the most of your summer days outside. Ride a Bike Sharing bike for FREE all weekend long.

Fort Worth is making healthier choices and everyone is taking notice. Blue Zones Project Fort Worth was one of three Texas Health Resource initiatives that led to the hospital system receiving the prestigious 2022 Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Community Service from the American Hospital Association this month.

Fort Worth schools are about to get growing again!

It’s no joke! Rides on a Fort Worth Bike Sharing BCycle are FREE on Friday, April 1, courtesy of Blue Zones Project and the Free First Fri-YAY program. Free First Fri-YAY is offered on the first Friday of every month to encourage people to get outside and move naturally. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or just looking for a fun, healthy way to explore Cowtown, the city offers plenty of trails and bike lanes to explore.

Winning school projects include gardens, relaxation room, and “buddy benches” to enhance well-being on campus.
