Umpqua Health wants to help you be healthy. It’s part of our mission, our values, and even our name. When we at Umpqua Health think of health, we’re not just looking at people’s overall well-being today—we want to help impact the health of our community for years to come.
It’s a concept known as social determinants of health, which means the conditions and environments where people are born, grow up, live, work, and age are recognized as having an impact on overall health.

That’s where Blue Zones Project-Umpqua comes in.
