Now, Eleonora Tornatore-Mikesh, CEO of the Alzheimer’s nonprofit CaringKind, is on a mission to bring the Blue Zones team to New York City, where she believes it could help reduce the burden of Alzheimer’s disease – although her efforts are still in the early stages. Aestimated that in the Bronx, about 1 in 6 seniors has Alzheimers, giving the borough one of the highest rates of the disease in the country among counties with 10,000 or more people over the age of 65.
Tornatore-Mikesh wants to bring some of the vitality of the Blue Zones to New York and has coordinated preliminary meetings this year between city officials and Nick Buettner, Dan’s brother and Blue Zones’ vice president of community engagement, to start to “plant the seed” about the concept.
