HonorHealth is bringing together civic, business, and community leaders to work with Blue Zones to begin a community assessment in Scottsdale that would determine how to make it a healthier place to live, work, grow up, and grow old.
HonorHealth has served the communities of Scottsdale and Phoenix for nearly 100 years. Our roots run deep in Arizona – but we understand that our communities need more than just accessible healthcare to be truly healthy. We have a strong legacy of partnering with other like-minded organizations that are working to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone we serve. Joining together with Blue Zones to help make the city of Scottsdale a healthier place to live and work enables us to go beyond the traditional expectations of a healthcare system. We are proud to be a part of this effort.
Happenings
Activate Scottsdale Community Leadership Event
Join HonorHealth and the City of Scottsdale on March 2, 2022, for the Activate Scottsdale Community Event to hear from the Blue Zones team of national experts as they begin their assessment of our community. Inspired by the world’s longest-lived cultures, Blue Zones helps communities live better and longer by improving their environment in a variety of ways. Becoming a Blue Zones community begins with the readiness assessment. With our help, Blue Zones will conduct a structured exploration of our community to build a plan for this exciting change.

What We Do
ASSESSMENT
Blue Zones experts will collaborate with leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period we will: Educate and mobilize local leaders and residents, evaluate the community’s current state of well-being, identify the highest priority strengths, challenges and opportunities, and produce and present a plan for community transformation.
FREE TOOLS
Blue Zones engages individual community members through online health and well-being assessments, the True Vitality® Test and True Happiness® Test, and an interactive Blue Zones® Life Challenge. All are available for free to all community members as part of the program. These customized online tools are designed to help raise individual awareness surrounding personal health and well-being, with the goal of increasing overall life expectancy.
MEET THE EXPERTS
The Blue Zones team is comprised of a range of inspirational, innovative community transformation and well-being experts.
