H.852 is a bill introduced by Representative Cina of Burlington that aims to develop a blue zone blueprint for Vermont. The bill mandates the Agency of Human Services, along with relevant stakeholders, to conduct a public engagement campaign that includes education, media outreach, and participatory decision-making. This campaign will work towards establishing a shared definition of "blue zone" across the state and will assess local strengths, assets, resources, needs, and service gaps to identify opportunities for Vermont to pursue blue zone status.

The bill emphasizes the importance of community involvement in the process, ensuring that the voices of Vermonters are heard and considered in the development of the blueprint. By focusing on public engagement, the bill seeks to create a comprehensive plan that reflects the unique characteristics and needs of Vermont communities, ultimately promoting health and well-being throughout the state.
