"Your Social Network and Your Health"
Join us at the Hilton Naples on March 24, 2015, and learn
Creating healthier, happier and more productive residents. That's the goal of the NCH Healthcare System as we transform from a "repair shop" to a change agent focused on prevention.
Eighty percent of the factors which influence health are under our control.
NCH, along with the help of community partners, is launching a major initiative that uses scientific research to help southwest Florida boost our well-being. It's called the Blue Zones Project(r) and it has been successfully implemented in 13 communities across the country. In every case there's been demonstrable progress in improving the well-being of participating communities.
The Blue Zones Project is a community-wide initiative designed to make healthy choices easier. It encourages sustainable changes in our built environment and social networks, often suggesting policy changes involving worksites, schools, restaurants, grocery stores and neighborhoods.
The presentation will be given by Dr. Allen Weiss, President and CEO of NCH Health System and leading advocate of the Collier County Blue Zones Community initiative.
Dr. Allen Weiss was appointed President and CEO of the NCH Healthcare System in September, 2006. Previously, he was President for over six years. He is responsible for a 715 bed, two-hospital integrated health care system in Naples, Florida. NCH is one of only thirty hospitals in the country affiliated with Mayo Clinic. NCH has been named three times by U. S. News and World Report as best in the region and among the top 10% best cardiovascular surgical programs according to Society of Thoracic Surgery based on objective data.
