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.

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!

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

The family that learns together can live a heathier life together—at least that’s the idea of the annual Blue Zones Project Virtual Family Summit hosted for Fort Worth residents over the holidays. The 2021 event—online since 2020—offered tips and tricks for better well-being at any age.

Waste Not! Blue Zones Project and Foodland Inc. Recognized for Food Recovery Efforts

Discover just how delicious better well-being can be during Fort Worth’s second annual Blue Zones Restaurant Week celebration. Between Oct. 11 and 17, 2021, more than 20 area eateries will offer special pricing on savory, plant-based menu items and dishes that are Blue Zones inspired—reflecting eating habits in parts of the world where people live the longest, with less chronic disease. Blue Zones Project is a community-led initiative to make healthy choices easier. As part of the citywide effort, Fort Worth restaurants are increasingly offering diners plant-based, vegetarian and vegan options. Blue Zones Restaurant Week gives diners an opportunity to support that commitment to well-being and sample a variety of tasty, healthy recipes at a great price, often at some restaurants that you might not normally expect to find such plant-based options.

There’s another prestigious feather in Fort Worth’s wellness cap. The American Hospital Association (AHA) has recognized Blue Zones Project Fort Worth, under the direction of Texas Health Resources, with its esteemed Dick Davidson NOVA Award, which recognizes outstanding collaborative efforts of hospitals and health systems to improve community health.
