Since 2014, Texas Health has taken the lead on improving well-being in Fort Worth through implementation of Blue Zones Project, an initiative designed to improve community health and wellness through permanent changes to the built environment, policy, and social networks. In 2019, following Fort Worth's certification as a Blue Zones Community, Blue Zones Project activities moved fully under the umbrella of North Texas Healthy Communities (NTHC), a community outreach arm of Texas Health. NTHC has continued to implement best practices and expand its initiatives across North Texas through collaborations with under-resourced schools, faith communities, worksites and neighborhoods as identified by Texas Health'sCommunity Health Needs Assessment. Emphasis has been placed on creating equitable, affordable access to healthy foods and fresh produce, supporting mental health, and increasing literacy success - integrating these three priority areas with existing initiatives to positively impact social determinants of health.
