Defining Health Span
Health span refers to the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease, cognitive decline, and loss of independence.
While lifespan has increased, health span has not kept pace. Today, many Americans are living longer but spending more years in poor health.
We believe the East Bay can lead the way by creating real-world replicable models for how communities can raise health span together.

Move their bodies
Eat real food
Connect meaningfully
Learn how to prevent decline
