Learn about the Prescott Quad-Cities
The Prescott Area is a diverse area that offers a variety of housing options. You will often hear the Prescott Area referred to as the Quad-Cities. But what are the Prescott Quad-Cities?
Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt comprise the Quad-Cities. The Quad-Cities in northern Arizona has approximately 105,000 people. Here is a little information on each town in the Prescott Quad City area.
Chino Valley, Arizona
Chino Valley, Arizona, offers a rural lifestyle with shopping, dining, and recreation. Approximately 10,000 people live in the 63-square-mile town of Chino Valley. Chino is conveniently located 35 miles south of Interstate 40 and the town of Ash Fork, and 15 miles from Prescott and Prescott Valley, making commuting a breeze. Families can enjoy ball fields, skate parks, and horseback riding trails. The town has four schools operated by the Town of Chino Valley: Del Rio Elementary, Territorial Elementary, Heritage Middle School, and Chino Valley High School.

Prescott, Arizona
Prescott, Arizona, is dubbed as “Everyone’s Hometown.” Prescott has a perfect climate with four distinct but gentle seasons. It is located in the mountains of north-central Arizona in Yavapai County, surrounded by National Forest, and at a mile-high elevation.
Prescott’s charming downtown centers on an old-fashioned town square with a historic courthouse, but what surrounds it is anything but old-fashioned. Upscale shops and restaurants, art and antiques, and just about everything in between make Prescott’s historic downtown the place to be.
Prescott is an excellent place for an active lifestyle, too. You can kayak at Watson Lake, hike, bike, ride horses or quads in the National Forest, or play one of our many signature golf courses. Although Prescott consistently ranks as one of the best places to retire, there are plenty of activities for all ages. We’re a very dog-friendly community with a very vibrant downtown nightlife and fabulous shopping with boutiques, antique shops, artisans, and more.
Prescott Valley, Arizona
Prescott Valley, Arizona, is a thriving town just a few minutes east of historic Prescott. Prescott Valley was the seventh fastest-growing place among all cities and towns in Arizona between 1990 and 2000 and has approximately 45,000 people calling it home. Located at 5,000 feet, many retirees live in Prescott Valley due to the relatively inexpensive housing and the mild climate. Prescott Valley has a large retail center, an indoor Event Center, and Yavapai Regional Medical Center Hospital. The mild climate, convenient location of 85 miles north of Phoenix, and surrounding lakes, fishing, and hiking trails make Prescott Valley attractive for families and retirees.

- Place: Embry Riddle: The Jim and Linda Lee Planetarium | 3700 Willow Creek Rd, Prescott, AZ 86301
As leaders of businesses and your families, “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything” as the saying goes— is not just on you, but is difficult to attain based on the system.
Today’s health care system is more challenging than ever. The obstacles faced by health care providers and their patients in rural areas are vastly different than those in urban areas. Diverse economic factors, lack of spousal employment, attainable housing, stable medical work force, cultural and social differences, lack of recognition by legislators, and the sheer distance and isolation of living in remote areas—all conspire to create health care disparities and impede rural Americans in their struggle to have accessible and timely health care. To recognize and understand these challenges is the first step in finding solutions for them.
This very thought provoking presentation and discussion with Dr. Galper will provide you with a deeper understanding of the health care obstacles in rural communities; ideas that can improve community options; how all members of the community can help; what innovative solutions could be created; and how you as a business leader can help build a healthy community in Northern Arizona.

You can add chopped herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
2) Zucchini Lasagna – For a filling and flavorful main course, try a veggie-packed zucchini lasagna. Layer thin slices of zucchini with ricotta cheese, tomato sauce, and your favorite herbs for an Italian-inspired dish that will wow the whole family.

4) Stuffed Zucchini Boats – Zucchini boats are a fun and creative way to use your surplus of zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, and then stuff them with a tasty filling like ground beef, rice, and cheese. Bake them in the oven until the cheese melts and is bubbly for a satisfying and comforting meal.
5) Zucchini Bread– Zucchini bread is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a healthy sweet treat. This moist and flavorful bread has a beautiful texture that will have you returning for more. Mix grated zucchini with flour, sugar, baking soda, and other seasonings to make it. Pour the batter into a bread pan and bake for 60 minutes or until fully cooked.
