Blue Zones is a community-led well-being initiative rooted in 
research from global longevity hotspots, designed to make 
healthy choices easier through lasting environmental change. 
HonorHealth is uniting civic, business and community leaders 
in the City of Scottsdale to launch a multi-year effort to become 
Arizona’s first Blue Zones certified community.
