The success of the first 2024 SBR Health & Wellness Fair was made possible by generous sponsorship. The Platinum Sponsor, Desert Life Pharmacy, not only provided financial support, Brianne Spaeth, pharmacist and owner, assisted the committee in connecting with various providers to exhibit at the fair. Brianne has also been our support to hold drive–through vaccination clinics at the Ranch for the COVID and flu vaccines.
Desert Life Pharmacy provides other services besides filling prescriptions and Medication Reviews with clients to aid with proper administration of medicines and understanding of what they are taking. Brianne recently achieved certification to provide diabetes education—10 hours for first–time patients diagnosed with diabetes, then two hours per year covered by Medicare. The pharmacy also supports outside medical providers once a week at the clinic, such as dermatologists and a Pima Heart cardiologist.
The committee would also like to thank our Gold Sponsors: Tucson Eye Care, Home Instead, Carbon Health, and Desert Dermatology. We also thank the Silver Sponsors: Village Medical, Oro Valley Hospital, North West Healthcare Home Care, Splendido at Rancho Vistoso, La Posada at Pusch Ridge, Right at Home, and Sun Life Health in Oracle.
Many thanks go out to all the volunteers. The event would not have been as successful without them.
The SBR Woodworking Club and John Gordon made the plaques for our platinum and gold sponsors, with such a precious and beautiful finish. A hearty thanks for the work to honor our sponsors.
