Now, that model could be coming to San Mateo County.

Peninsula Health Care District is hosting a FREE community keynote featuring experts from Blue Zones to explore how communities can make everyday environments—where people live, work, and socialize—support healthier choices.

What you’ll learn:
• What scientists discovered in the world’s longest-living communities
• How the Blue Zones model is transforming cities across the country
• What a Blue Zones initiative could mean for San Mateo County
• How residents, businesses, and local leaders can get involved

In 2001, a small group of concerned community members came together in coastal San Mateo County to do something about the lack of quality dental care facing low-income communities, farmworkers, and others in need. Those founders raised seed funds to open a clinic with a single dental chair – and big dreams.

25 years later, Sonrisas Dental Health serves over 5,000 patients at 3 clinics, provides on-site dental screenings to another 5,000 children and older adults in San Mateo County, and continues to evolve with innovations aimed at fulfilling the vision of our founders: a dental home for everyone, regardless of physical, developmental, and financial barriers.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, connection, and purpose. Let’s honor the past, embrace the present, and invest in a future where every smile matters.

🗓️ Saturday, April 18, 2026
⏰ 6 PM
