– Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS, 17th Surgeon General of the United States (2002-2006), Vice Chairman, Canyon Ranch

Canyon Ranch was founded by a man who’d struggled with weight and poor health until he discovered that active, mindful, healthy living was the answer. For more than thirty years, the company Mel Zuckerman created has been inspired by his success, and by that of tens of thousands of guests who have changed their lives for the better at our destination health resorts.
