HonorHealth

What HonorHealth does

HonorHealth is a nonprofit integrated healthcare system headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, serving the greater Phoenix metropolitan area through nine acute-care hospitals, more than 300 outpatient facilities, and over 45 primary care locations, supported by a workforce of more than 20,000 clinical and administrative staff. The system delivers comprehensive care across primary care, urgent care, emergency services, maternity and women's health, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical specialties, and serves a patient base that expanded by nearly 80,000 individuals with the January 2026 acquisition of 11 Evernorth Care Group locations from Cigna Healthcare of Arizona.

The technology stack is anchored by Epic's MyChart patient portal for scheduling, records access, bill pay, and telehealth, with Workday (implemented with PwC) unifying finance, HR, benefits, and supply chain operations across the enterprise. Clinical technology includes the first-in-nation deployment of Stryker's Mako RPS handheld robotics for joint replacement (55+ cases at Sonoran Crossing Medical Center), expansion of Distalmotion's DEXTER robotic surgery system into affiliated ASCs, a new cardiac catheterization laboratory at Scottsdale Thompson Peak, 37 UV germ-zapping robots for environmental disinfection, and AI-powered clinical documentation via Abridge (500 licenses covering approximately 3,000 physicians), with additional Microsoft and Epic AI tools supporting nursing workflows.

Revenue is generated through patient care services billed to individuals and reimbursed by commercial payers (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana) and government programs (Medicare, AHCCCS), supplemented by self-pay pricing, specialized service lines, and price transparency tools. The system operates academic affiliations with Arizona State University (primary clinical affiliate, $12.5M contribution to ASU Health headquarters) and the University of Cincinnati, and runs the HonorHealth Research Institute (developmental therapeutics and immuno-oncology), the Whole Health Institute (preventive and lifestyle medicine), and the forthcoming HonorHealth Medical Fitness facility. Distribution combines owned hospital and outpatient facilities, urgent care walk-ins, telehealth, and the MyChart self-serve portal, with no third-party developer API offered publicly.
