Hopewell, VA: From Kepone to Blue Zones
"One foot in the office, one foot in the community"
Dr. Morris believes that his practice is not just within the confines of building walls but is the entire community, and our mission at Morris Cardiovascular is to empower and make positive health changes within the community. Complete wellness is multi-faceted, and as such we must address all areas. These events within our community begin to do so.
What is a Blue Zone, anyway?
Dr. Morris's goal is to educate the community about heart healthy lifestyles as a means to reduce cardiovascular disease and other harmful chronic illnesses that cause pain and suffering. After careful research, Dr. Morris learned about Blue Zones, places around the world where people live longer, healthier lives when compared to the United States. Blue Zones tend to have 9 key principles (called the Blue Zones Power 9) in common that cause such longevity, and Dr. Morris made it his mission to instill these principles within the framework of Hopewell Virginia in order to transform the city into the Commonwealth's FIRST Blue Zone!
