Mr. LaPorte has transformed HonorHealth from a system focused on treating illness to a trusted partner in lifelong health and wellbeing. His leadership philosophy is driven in part by his own personal experience surviving a heart attack. Believing that exceptional care delivery starts with caring for the people who provide it, he created an innovative chief wellbeing officer role to prioritize caregiver health and resilience, alongside a robust diversity, equity and inclusion program, leadership development pathways, competitive compensation structures, and a systemwide brand ambassador program. In 2023, Mr. LaPorte led HonorHealth to become the presenting sponsor of the Blue Zones Project Scottsdale, which is a transformative community initiative designed to improve wellbeing, resilience and economic vitality. He also secured Blue Zones worksite certification at every HonorHealth facility. Beyond HonorHealth, he serves on the boards of Experience Scottsdale and the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, is a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership, and is a board member and past board chair of the Health System Alliance of Arizona. Previously, he served as board chair for Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Paradise Valley School District’s Foundation for Public Education. Mr. LaPorte was named among In Business Magazine Phoenix‘s “11 Healthcare Innovators” in 2025.
