Canyon Ranch Institute

Category: Collaborating Institutions

When Canyon Ranch Founders Mel and Enid Zuckerman opened Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson, Arizona, in 1979, a uniquely successful approach to lifestyle change was born. Since then, Canyon Ranch has become the premier integrated-lifestyle authority in the nation, renowned for the expertise and integration of its medical and health professionals. At its core is a model of optimal living that helps people make a long-lasting personal and emotional connection to wellness.

From the outset, the Zuckermans have dedicated themselves to sharing knowledge and the power of their mission. By supporting numerous research and development projects and offering scholarships to people at risk, they have demonstrated their commitment to improving the health and well-being of people of all ages, walks of life, and cultural backgrounds.

Canyon Ranch Institute (CRI), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in 2002 by Mel and Enid Zuckerman and Jerry Cohen, to translate the unique health and wellness philosophy and expertise of Canyon Ranch to communities beyond Canyon Ranch.
