CAL FIRE Local 2881 and Hundred Health today announced a rollout of Hundred’s integrated health platform to more than 10,000 firefighters and their families. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in prioritizing the long-term health and resiliency of those on the front lines of California’s most demanding environments.
California’s firefighters face extreme heat, unpredictable conditions, and intense physical and mental demands daily. In fact, firefighters often average a life expectancy 10 years shorter than the average American due to cardiovascular disease driven by repeated exposure to toxic chemicals and extreme physical stress on the job. By implementing the Hundred’s program for health optimization, CAL FIRE Local 2881 members now have access to cutting-edge technology designed to turn personal health data into proactive, manageable, and personalized 100-day action plans that can help reduce preventable risks tied to conditions that continue to disproportionately impact the fire service and improve longevity. The program intends to serve as a blueprint for additional first responder health initiatives nationwide.
“Our members put their lives and long-term health on the line every time they step onto the fire ground,” said Tim Edwards, President of CAL FIRE Local 2881. “We have a responsibility to protect those who protect California – the largest firefighting force in the nation. By bringing Hundred Health to our 10,000-plus members, we are moving beyond basic care and giving our firefighters the advanced tools they need to monitor their health in real-time, reduce their risks, and ensure they can enjoy a long, healthy life after their service is complete.”
The Hundred platform integrates data-driven insights with accessible technology, allowing members to monitor key health metrics and receive tailored guidance. For firefighters whose bodies are constantly pushed to the limit, the platform offers a transformative way to track recovery, manage stress, and optimize overall well-being and occupational longevity through a personalized approach.
“Firefighters are tactical athletes operating in the harshest environments imaginable. For the first time, the proactive health system once reserved for billionaires is being deployed at scale for the heroes who run into burning buildings. We are honored to support CAL FIRE Local 2881 by providing their members with a platform that provides a clear, actionable roadmap to better health,” said Tyler Smith, Founder and CEO of Hundred Health. “This is not about tracking steps. It is about reducing preventable risk and extending the careers and lives of the people who protect all of us.”
The initiative emphasizes the 100-day personalized health plan, a core feature of the Hundred platform that breaks down complex health goals into achievable milestones. This structured approach is particularly vital for first responder health, as their routines are often disrupted by the demands of the job.
“The physical toll of firefighting—including exposure to carcinogens, extreme heat stress, and sleep deprivation—requires a clinical level of precision in health monitoring,” said Dr. Matt Rahn. “This program allows us to bridge the gap between the front lines and the lab. By utilizing Hundred’s data-driven insights, we can identify early warning signs and implement preventative strategies that are specifically tailored to the unique physiological needs of the firefighting community.”
Through this joint effort, Hundred Health and CAL FIRE Local 2881 are reimagining the standard of care for first responders—using data, technology, and compassion to build a healthier, more resilient future for California’s firefighting community.
Hundred Health is a fully integrated health optimization platform that delivers the kind of proactive, data-driven care once accessible only to elite concierge patients and professional athletes, now available to everyone for $499, compared to the $25,000–$100,000 annual cost of traditional concierge medicine. Hundred works by combining what no other platform does in one place: your complete medical history and records, personal health onboarding, real-time wearable data, and one of the most comprehensive advanced lab testing panels available — 100+ biomarkers — to give you a complete, clinical-grade picture of your health. But Hundred doesn’t stop at data. Every member receives a personalized, evidence-based 100-day action plan built by top clinicians, with specific guidance across nutrition, exercise, recovery, and supplementation designed to drive measurable results in their actual life. Members also get exclusive access to the Hundred Marketplace, a members-only supplement store curated for quality and sourced for value, giving members access to the highest-grade supplements at the lowest possible prices, so the protocol actually gets followed. Hundred was founded by Tyler Smith, a serial entrepreneur whose own health wake-up call led him to spend years working alongside the world’s top doctors — and who came away convinced that the gap between elite concierge medicine and what most people have access to wasn’t inevitable. It was fixable. Hundred is how he’s fixing it.
