It offers a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and communities to make positive changes to the environments where they live, work, and play, improving well-being through policy, building design, social networks, and the built environment. East and North Hawai‘i are two of the three communities in Hawai‘i selected for this project with the support of HMSA and Healthways. According to the project’s leadership, these communities demonstrated the civic leadership, motivation and overall community readiness to carry out this community-wide initiative. Kickoff events were held in Hilo at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium and Waimea at the Kahilu Town Hall on October 17, 2015. The East Hawai‘i kickoff, which attracted over 1,200 attendees, doubled as Mayor Billy Kenoi’s 4th annual Health Fest. For Mayor Billy Kenoi, the Blue Zones Project compliments his administration’s initiative to build the infrastructure Hawai‘i Island’s residents need to live active, healthy lifestyles. From district parks built in Pāhoa and Waimea, to improvements to existing parks, to bike lanes and sidewalks being incorporated into roadway projects, to new keiki playgrounds islandwide, Mayor Kenoi’s administration has made an unprecedented push to expand infrastructure for healthier lifestyles. Mayor Kenoi has also convened the Active Living Advisory Council to advise him on important community initiatives and ways the County can assist and support them. The council joined Mayor Kenoi in September to honor Hawai‘i Island employers who helped their workers live healthier lifestyles. “We want to empower all members of our community to take responsibility for their health and well-being,” Mayor Kenoi said. “We all recognize that we can’t tackle the global or national 6 County of Hawai‘i healthcare crisis, but we can start with ourselves, our neighborhoods, and our community,” Annual Report FY 2015-16 7 AGING applications per month at the East Hawai‘i ADRC, and 80 per month at the West Hawai‘i ADRC.

The financial impact on PBS Hawai‘i was sharp and deep, reflecting the suffering of our fellow Islanders. When schools shut down, students lacking digital access were hard-pressed to join their classmates online. As an educational media organization, we had already made these moves: • Substantially strengthened our statewide over-the-air broadcast relay system so that many homes in under-resourced areas across the Islands can better receive our programming, without the household cost of wi-fi, cable, or satellite dishes. • Launched, in 2019, an additional channel, PBS KIDS 24-7, distributed over-the- air, on cable, online and via satellite, which provides curriculum-rich, engaging programming for children ages 2-8.
