LOS ANGELES , July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Zones, the world leader in longevity research and community well-being transformation, and Healthly, a unique clinical delivery system that has created a successful value-based economic model across 200 primary care physicians through the practice of lifestyle medicine, today announced a groundbreaking partnership designed to help people live better, longer lives. This strategic alliance merges Blue Zones' evidence-based approach to improving population well-being with Healthly's differentiated model for care. Together, they have formed Blue Zones Health, a lifestyle medicine delivery model built on the value of generating more good years for patients, providers, and payers.
Research shows lifestyle medicine is the most effective approach to reverse and manage chronic diseases, but our current healthcare system is set up to treat sickness and symptoms. Every few years, a new venture sets out to "disrupt healthcare," an industry that costs the United States $4.5 trillion a year.
However, despite best efforts, healthcare stakeholders remain in siloes and disruptive transformation has been elusive. Blue Zones has had proven success in improving the health and well-being of large populations, with expertise applying the Blue Zones research and Life Radius ® model to improve health at the individual, organizational, and community levels. Healthly has had proven clinical success in improving patient health outcomes and reducing heal.
