Part of the Governor’s Healthiest State Initiative that will include community walks next month, is a competition among Iowa Communities to become Blue Zone areas. Blue Zone areas are designated by populations that have higher-than-average rates of people living to age 100. Iowa Communities that win Blue Zone status will recieve funds from Wellmark that can be put toward enhancing community health and wellness programs. In Pella, a Get Started Somewhere walk will be held October 7th at noon.
