The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) congratulates Danica Premirelli on her appointment as Executive Director of Blue Zones Project Galveston, a community-wide initiative dedicated to making healthy choices easier through improvements to the places where people live, work, learn, and play.
A longtime Galveston resident, registered dietitian, educator, and former UTMB clinical dietitian, Premirelli brings extensive experience in nutrition, community engagement, healthcare, and higher education. She will lead the implementation of Blue Zones Project across the island, working alongside employers, schools, restaurants, healthcare organizations, and community partners to create environments that support healthier, longer lives.
As the initiative grows, the Office of Wellness looks forward to partnering with Blue Zones Project to bring the principles of connection, purpose, movement, and healthy environments to life across our Academic Enterprise.
