PHOENIX magazine has published the list of 2026 Health-Care Heroes, highlighting caregivers who quietly make a lasting impact beyond the walls of Valley clinics and hospitals.
The list consists of 30 professionals nominated and selected by PHOENIX magazine readers and editors. CarolAnn Tutera, CEO of Tutera Medical and SottoPelle Therapy, is one of the honorees this year.
Tutera is redefining what it means to age well. As CEO of SottoPelle, her Scottsdale-based education company focused on bioidentical hormone therapy, she leads with a personalized, integrative philosophy that blends hormone balance with nutrition, fitness and authentic aging. “My goal has always been to help people age gracefully – not just grow older, but live vibrantly,” she says. “My influence shapes the future of hormone health, inspires other professionals and creates a ripple of wellness across Arizona and beyond.”
