In The Pink Of Health With Oregon Blue Zones

www.va.gov

People in good health were once described as being "in the pink." 

Good health takes on a different hue under the Blue Zones Project in Oregon. 

In blue zones, all kinds of individuals and entities come together to work for better health for all. 

The goal is to reduce obesity, smoking, and chronic disease.  We hear about plans to paint the town blue in Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, and Douglas County.
