The Healthiest State Initiative was set up to measure our progress and help improve the health and happiness of our fellow Iowans. A sponsor of the Blue Zones Project by Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index is Wellmark.

Everyone partnering together will help us live longer and happier. Here’s a link about the program, but in particular, I would like you to look at the programs tab for the upcoming Healthiest State Conference being held May 19 in Ames.

This is an all day conference and features some very outstanding speakers. I feel that this is something that anybody could learn from and I would like to make sure that you’re aware of it and have the opportunity to register for it. Please note on the right side of their website, the presenting sponsors. This has been quite an impressive initiative and I feel we’re all better for it.
