The Retirements Next Steps Workshop will conclude its Healthy Summer Series on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 4 p.m.

Debbie Romano, wellness consultant, author of “Healthy Heartbeats: 100 Plant-Based Recipes” and founder of Fountain Hills Healthy Heartbeats, will be guest speaker.

Romano will share actionable, research-based lifestyle habits from “Blue Zones Power 9” that promote longevity and vitality in retirement.

Co-hosted by Jill Templeton-Haislip, senior real estate specialist and director of Imagine Fountain Hills Blue Zones Initiative and Karen DeGeorge, principal of DeGeorge Partners, the 60-minute session will include a community Q&A and a real estate update.

The Imagine Fountain Hills Blue Zones Initiative, led by the Four Peaks Rotary and a steering committee of local leaders and volunteers, is working toward making Fountain Hills a certified Blue Zone community.

The effort promotes healthy, evidence-based lifestyle habits such as plant-based eating, natural movement, strong social connections and stress reduction.

Current programming includes community challenges, cooking demonstrations, Moai-style hike groups, wellness fairs and educational workshops.
