A Washington business has been named a Blue Zone Worksite. The Halcyon House and WesleyLife Adult Day Center have been designated as Blue Zone Worksites by the Blue Zones Project Iowa.

To be named a Blue Zone Worksite, businesses have to meet criteria in the areas of leadership, purpose, habitat and physical environment, engagement and creation of social networks, policies and benefits, and well-being solutions. Some of the ways Halcyon House met the criteria include stocking break rooms with 10-inch plates, providing on-site support groups, fitness and exercies classes, having bike racks and indoor and outdoor plants and flowers.

Also, more than 90 percent of the 75 full and part time employees completed the Blue Zones Personal Pledge to live healthier lifestyles.
