Economic Club of Phoenix featuring Todd LaPorte, CEO at HonorHealth

With more than 35 years of diverse healthcare experience, Todd LaPorte leads an integrated health system with six acute-care hospitals, numerous outpatient facilities, a research institute, and various community services impacting social determinants of health and military preparedness.

HonorHealth is Arizona’s seventh largest employer, with a presence throughout much of the growing Phoenix metropolitan area.

Since joining HonorHealth in 2001, LaPorte has held executive roles in which he focused on financial and strategic leadership. He has shaped a system with many access points to provide convenient, high-quality care for patients, and with an ability to coordinate care efficiently and effectively. HonorHealth governs with its medical staff one of the country’s highest-performing accountancy care organizations in the country.

For most of his 20 years at HonorHealth, LaPorte served as the chief financial officer (CFO). In April 2017, he became the 10th CEO in more than 150 years of its legacy firm history.

Before joining HonorHealth, LaPorte held senior management roles for an international CPA firm that served Arizona healthcare clients, as well as clients in high-tech manufacturing and consumer services. He was also the CFO of a privately held healthcare company serving more than a half million Arizonans.

LaPorte is a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership (a CEO advocacy group) and is a board member of Experience Scottsdale (a visitor’s bureau) and Health System Alliance of Arizona, an association of the five largest healthcare systems throughout the state. He speaks frequently in ASU MBA classes and community service organizations throughout the Valley.

LaPorte was named CFO of the Year by the Arizona chapter of the Financial Executives International in 2012 and was recognized by Becker's Hospital Review as one of the "125 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know" in 2013.

He has served as board chair for a chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the nationally acclaimed Scottsdale Aquatic Club, and the Paradise Valley School District’s supporting Foundation for Public Education.

He holds a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Arizona and an MBA from ASU.
