Naples isn’t just where HALLE opened its first office — it’s where HALLE had to exist.
In a city where 56% of the population is over 65 and the median age is 67.6 — the highest of any metro in Florida — bone health isn’t abstract. It’s personal. It’s your neighbor recovering from a hip fracture. It’s your tennis partner wondering if her DEXA results told the full story.
Naples has been named the healthiest, happiest city in America by the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index — four years running. The city is a Blue Zones Project community, built on principles of longevity, purpose, and proactive living. Residents here don’t wait for problems. They prevent them.
That’s why George Bryant and Dr. Krystyna Shepetiuk chose Naples as the birthplace of HALLE — making it the first location in Florida to offer REMS bone health assessments directly to the public, without a physician referral, with same-day results.
