We are Bakersfield
Blue Zones Project® works with the Bakersfield community to create an even better place to live, learn, work, play, and worship. When the entire community participates—from worksites and schools to our restaurants and grocery stores—small changes contribute to huge benefits for us all: lowered healthcare costs, improved productivity, and ultimately, a higher quality of life. We look forward to working together to help make healthier choices easier for everyone in the Bakersfield area.
