Patient’s Choice Award Recipient

December 2016

...continued from page 1

At the Fulcrum Shield Award ceremony in Washington, D.C. are Brig. Gen. William Walker, Commanding General of the District of Columbia National Guard Land Component; Dana Lippincott, Unit Commander of East Valley Young Marines; Young Marines Pvt. Nick Burt; Young Marines Gunnery Sgt. Tyson Henry of Mountain View High School; Frank “Gunny” Alger, Executive Officer of the East Valley Young Marines; Young Marine National Executive Director Bill Davis; and Young Marines West Coast Director Joe Lusingnan.

spreading anti-drug messages in local communities.

“We are extremely proud of East Valley Young Marines for their passionate efforts in educating the local community on the hazards of ‘gateway drugs’ through ‘Closing the Gate on Drugs’,” said retired Col. Bill Davis, Young Marines National Executive Director.

“Their message reached thousands of adults and youth, making a real impact that extends beyond just our members.”

The Mesa chapter has been active in schools in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Fountain Hills and Queen Creek, teaching their peers and setting a high example for other youth to follow.”

In 2014, the Young Marines unveiled “Closing the Gate on Drugs” on a national scale. It consists of lessons that help young people learn and practice new skills and strategies for resisting drugs. These “gateway drugs” include tobacco, alcohol, inhalant abuse, marijuana and over-the-counter/ prescription medication.

The East Valley unit partnered with the Mesa Police Department for training. Unit members also developed a partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs from Mesa, Apache Junction, Gilbert, Tempe, and Scottsdale, scheduling monthly meetings to present more than 50 Drug Demand Reduction classes throughout the year.

“In a 22-year career in law December 2016

enforcement, I never arrested anyone for methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine or any other perceived ‘more dangerous’ drugs that didn’t start abusing one of the gateway drugs first,” said Joe Lusignan, the Young Marines’ drug demandreduction resource officer. “We focus on the gateway drugs because these are the drugs our school-age children are more likely to be exposed to and tempted by.”

Lusignan says that winning the Fulcrum Shields shows that a single unit can make a difference and “can make an impact not only in their community, but in the national arena.”

The Young Marines is a national nonprofit 501c(3) youth education and service program for boys and girls, age 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral and physical development of its members. The program focuses on teaching the values of leadership, teamwork and self-discipline, so that members can live and promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

Since its beginnings in 1959 with one unit and a handful of boys, the organization has grown to 281 units with 9,600 youth and 2,400 adult volunteers in 40 states, the District of Columbia and Okinawa with affiliates in other countries.

Masons honor beloved Mesa teachers

Ten Valley high school marching band students, including clarinetist Scott Allen of Mountain View High, have been selected to the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band.

They recently completed a six-stop tour of the Valley, with performances in Mesa, Gilbert, Glendale and Phoenix, in preparation for their trip to play at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl game in San Antonio in January.

It is rare that 10 students were chosen from the same area, band officials say.

The 10 were selected from thousands of applicants across the U.S. to represent their school.

Joining Allen among Valley selections are Aiyana Harr of Desert Ridge High; Marianne Cayer, Brandon Hermreck, and Tatiana Kapos of Perry High;

Mesa’s Oriental 20 Masonic Lodge recently celebrated Education Week by honoring Mesa Public Schools teachers for their contributions to education.

Nineteen teachers received awards for their dedication to education, and three retiring teachers were awarded lifetime-achievement awards.

Honorees and guests were treated to a reception and awards presentation.

“We host this evening because it is a way for our organization to honor the hard work of people who have dedicated their lives to a truly noble profession,” said Cosmo Magliozzi, charter member. “They have one of the most important jobs in the world.”

CycloMesa WinterFest to dump 10 tons like a winter storm at Alta Mesa Park A severe winter storm warning could be issued for north-central Mesa on Dec. 3, but the forecasted 10 tons of snow won’t be falling from the sky.

It will be delivered to Alta Mesa Park by the Mesa Transportation Department for its CycloMesa WinterFest, a bicycle and pedestrian program. The party in the park is to increase helmet-safety awareness for winter snow sports and biking.

CycloMesa WinterFest is 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the park, 1910 N. Alta Mesa Drive. It is free.

Kids are invited to play in the snow, ride a mechanical snowboard, learn proper helmet-fitting techniques and receive basic concussion education.

Food trucks, bounce houses and more reindeer games will augment the snow play.

“Helmet safety is just as important when families head up north to play in the snow as it is on bikes,” said Ashley Barinka,

Mesa Transportation Department safety educator. “When kids and adults are sledding, skiing and snowboarding, they should all wear properly-fitted helmets to avoid concussions and head injuries.”

Mesa residents are encouraged to bike to the festivities. A bike valet will be set

up to park bikes while residents enjoy the fun.

Folks are encouraged to stick around after the snow melts for a guided familyfriendly bike ride through Alta Mesa’s neighborhood to enjoy sights of homes with holiday lights and decorations.

Mesa Transportation Department helmetsafety awareness events normally look like these in city parks. But on Dec. 3, at Alta Mesa Park, there will be an added element: Snow. Ten tons of it. The helmet-safety discussion will be expanded to include sledding, skiing and snowboarding as winter approaches and families begin thinking about trips to Northern Arizona to play in the snow. Meanwhile, kids are invited to play in the snow before it melts in Mesa.

Running a mile in her shoes Mesa girl has special company during jog in her honor The Mollen Mile is a big deal to 7-yearold Cheyenne Case.

Each year, Cheyenne, a Mesa Sequioa Charter School student, looks forward to the Mollen Foundation event, in conjunction with the annual Phoenix 10K and Half Marathon. She participates in the kid’s fun run every year.

This year, Cheyenne missed it because she had been suffering from seizures. She was heartbroken.

When the Mollen Foundation heard from Cheyenne’s parents that she missed the race due to her health issues, Paige Mollen, who founded the foundation, met with Cheyenne to give her a medal and a T-shirt.

But Cheyenne expressed that she wanted to earn her finisher’s medal.

Paige then created a special Mollen Mile for Cheyenne at Mesa High, and ran it alongside her Nov. 12 to help her make her dream come true.

The public was invited to join them, and several children came to run with

Cheyenne Case and Denisse Rodriguez, 8, a Mesa Horne Elementary student, with their medals.

Dr. Art Mollen created the Phoenix 10K in 1976 with the goal of bringing the community together to encourage healthy behaviors and promote fitness.

It has raised funds for various nonprofit organizations throughout the Valley over the past 41 years, placing it among the longest-running 10K races in the country.

Through the years it has been known

as the North Bank 10K and then the New Times10K. It offers several events to include people of all ages and fitness levels, including the mile-long fun run that Cheyenne missed.

Mesa’s Women’s Club Founded in 1917, the Mesa Women’s Club charter states the club formed “to promote literacy, good fellowship, social and educational interests, and municipal improvements.”

The 53 members of the Women’s Club, led by Margaret Wheeler Ross, sponsored cultural, civic, and philanthropic activities.

Members of the club also spearheaded a campaign to cover open irrigation ditches, supported Mesa’s first library, raised money for local hospitals and charities, and provided aid to needy families during the Great Depression.

In the beginning, the club would rent the Guild Hall in the Episcopal Church on West Pepper Street in Mesa for its meetings, but members ultimately wanted their own building.

By 1931, the Women’s Club

constructed the Mesa Woman’s Club building, in the Spanish Revival style.

Located on the northwestern corner of Macdonald and Second Street, it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

By 1950, there were more than 150 members of the Mesa Women’s Club.

By 1990, the Mesa Women’s Club gave their building to the General Federation of Women’s ClubsArizona.

The federation continues to meet there regularly and maintains the building.

You’ll adore these family outings this holiday season

By Kimberly Hosey Holiday season is upon us (I know, it seems like it was JUST Halloween), and no matter how your family likes to spend your time together, there’s something nearby to do, see or hear to celebrate.

Here are just a few ways to make your holidays with kids or teens even more special.

Mesa Arizona Temple Gardens Christmas Light Celebration In its 37th year, the Mesa Christmas Lights display started as a modest hanging of 5,000 blue lights in the trees on the grounds of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the public to enjoy.

The display has since become an area staple with nativity displays, countless lights, reflecting pools, recorded holiday messages in English and Spanish and coming together to tell the story of Christ, but also to welcome visitors of all ages and faiths to take in the beauty and joy of the season.

Volunteers build the display components starting in the summer. If you want a free Christmas outing, some holiday cheer or a fabulous photo op, this is a great bet.

The visitors’ center will also be open, and the Mesa Temple Christmas Concert Series will accompany the lights. The display is open 5-10 p.m. nightly.

Free.

525 E. Main St., Mesa. www.mesachristmaslights.com.

Friday, Nov. 25, to Saturday, Dec. 31.

ZooLights at the Phoenix Zoo You’ve probably taken your family to Phoenix Zoo during the day, but if you Page 14

haven’t visited during ZooLights, you’re missing out.

Celebrating 25 years, ZooLights is brighter and better than ever as a whole new menagerie lights up.

Millions of lights in hundreds of displays decorate the zoo in a parade of animated animals. Hundreds of displays, like 3-D light sculptures of animals, from stingrays to a tiger, await you on the trails.

Also, take in lakeside music-in-motion shows, combining light and music magic for an immersive experience.

Kids will enjoy talking to the interactive Jengo the Talking Giraffe, returning with his pal, Tortuga the Talking Tortoise.

For an extra fee, kids can touch the stingrays in Stingray Bay, ride a camel or take a spin on the Endangered Species Carousel.

ZooLights run 5:30-10:30 p.m.

Check the website for special appearances on select days by the Dei Gloriam Handbell Choir, Red Mountain Carolers and Miss Amy’s Music Imaginarium. Also check out “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in the 4-D theater.

Tickets are $18, but you can purchase discount tickets with membership, an online purchase or with value tickets good for certain nights.

Everyone loves a parade. Although the occasion of the East Valley Veterans Day Parade in Mesa was solemn, after proper respects were paid to those who have worn the armed forces uniforms of the U.S., it was time to enjoy a gorgeous day in salute to our veterans.

1. Tristan Black Feather; Emma Hall, 6; Inara Hall, 8; Cora Hall, 1; and Leelee Hall are ready for the fun. 2. Model Ts and other horseless carriages show the crowd another era. 3. Hayden Haviland shows her pride at the parade. 4. Air Force veteran Bill Chaney, 98, a medic in WWII, joined the festivities. 5. Tim Henson and Jerry Zientara support their fellow veterans at the East Valley Veterans Day Parade.

6. Even Santa, a veteran of many Christmases, makes an appearance, to the delight of the crowd. 7. 2 Trenton Fitzgerald, 6, and Tyson Fitzgerald, 4, enjoy the day. 8.

Mad as a cat

She was mad – one might even describe it as cataclysmically livid.

She focused her ire at the entire family and made us aware of her displeasure with a decidedly cold shoulder and stiff whiskers.

We all knew the cause of her chagrin and weren’t about to give in to her demands. She gave us a silent, loathing stare with piercing green eyes while 03_AMCorson_8.5x11Mailer_v2.qxp_Layout 1 2/17/16 Page 2 door. standing expectantly by2:34 thePMback Her intense gaze was unrelenting. As were we.

behavior we found unacceptable and downright murderous. Simply put, we refused to let her chase birds in hopes of killing them via a game she calls “play.”

That got her goat. Boy, did it ever.

She loves chasing birds – is practically passionate about it.

That’s only the start.

She displays the same morbid behavior with mice, snakes and even the occasional common housefly. She acts like it’s in her DNA or something.

PRSTD STD I suppose it’s to be expected. She is a US POSTAGE PAID cat. Birds and cats are mortal enemies, PHOENIX AZ PERMIT NO. 5892 with cats typically being at the higher end of the food chain, giving her the definite upper hand – or outstretched claw, as the case may be.

Still, when not hunting, she’s so refined. So postured and polished. So

proper in the way she holds her tail. So dainty in the manner she nibbles her cat treats. So sophisticated in the way she jumps up on the TV table to block our view. Even when sleeping, she exhibits a certain amount of elegance.

Like that of royalty.

When her fixed gaze failed to bore a hole through any of our skulls, she relented to naughtiness, clawing at the wooden door, the carpet, couch and anything else she could reach. She can be a sassy-frass that way.

We told her she was being naughty.

She disagreed, telepathically, of course.

Then, still furious and fuming, she picked herself up on her delicate cat paws and sashayed out of the room. I figured she had in mind to go upstairs and poop on our bed. It’s what I would have done, had I been an angry cat. But cats are too neat for public pooping. She had something much more powerful in mind.

She was going to ignore us. Oh, the pain.

Cats are so smart.

I noticed her unpresence with the familial group the rest of the evening.

She came down for her nightly treat but

otherwise remained in an undeterred reject-human mode. Then the sun set and it was time for bed and she was still AWOL. We aren’t sure where she spent the night, but it wasn’t with us.

Maybe she was hunting inside – for spider webs and dust bunnies.

We’ll never know. The next morning she was back to her loving and royal self. Rubbing up against our legs, flipping her tail in a cat dance and standing by the back door, expectantly.

We pretended not to notice her lust for the hunt.

She’s full of surprises, this tiny, sometimes angry, cat of ours. It seems like she’d be more comfortable wearing a tiara, not using a pair of razor-sharp claws. Then again, I suppose princesses have been known to hunt. And get mad – mad as a cat.

And now I know what that looks like. Categorically.

How to make a Memory Clock It has become a family tradition the past few years for my kids and me to hand-make Christmas gifts for all of the grandparents.

This year’s gift was inspired by a product I saw in a catalog: a clock with binder clips in place of the numbers.

What a cool idea, but I bet I could make one better than what I saw-- and I did! law talk

Step 2 Find the center of your clock face and drill a hole in the center for the clock motor.

Place the number template in the center of the clock face and mark all twelve spots where the numbers would go. Drill a small tap hole in each of the twelve spots with the smaller drill bit.

You will need Clock motor with hands, scrap wood (no thicker than ¾ inch to accommodate the clock), compass and pencil, 12 binder clips (Dollar Tree is a great place for these), 12 short wood screws, 12 washers, cordless drill with drill bit slightly wider than the clock shaft, 1-1.5mm drill bit.

Step 1 Cut the wood to desired size and glue the pieces together. While the glue is drying, use a compass to create a template for the clock face. Reaching all the way back to high school geometry, if you leave the compass at the same width as you used to draw the initial circle,

place the anchor end on the circle, and make a tick where the pencil end falls. Continue this process, placing the anchor on each of the ticks you’ve created. This will measure the circle into six equal parts. To find the other six spaces, fold the template so two adjoining ticks meet each other, and repeat to find the halfway point between each mark.

Step 3 Follow the instructions that come with the clock motor to secure to the clock face.

Step 4 Cut 12 pieces of colorful paper in approximately 2” squares. Match each of these with a corresponding photo and secure with a binder clip.

Make sure they don’t interfere with the hands of the clock. NOTE: Nail polish is a great way to add some color to the washers, screw heads and clock hands if desired.

Insert a wood screw through a washer. Place one side of the handle of a binder clip around one of the tap holes, then tighten the screw and washer over the handle, and repeat for all 12 spots.

Navigating Parenthood

By Eva Dwight

Give the gift of time for the holidays The holiday season is upon us, and with that comes a frenzy of parties, end-of-semester projects, shopping, baking, and decorating.

It’s like getting sucked into a tornado only to be spit out with your head spinning on Jan. 2, wondering where the last six weeks went and wishing you’d had more time to rest and rejuvenate for the New Year.

Your kids will be wishing the same thing as they begin 2017 with new projects, expectations, and activities. My recommendation is to start planning now to create time for family connection through New Year’s.

I know this sounds like a nobrainer. The holidays are all about family, right? Yes, but as obvious as that seems, I have been guilty of over scheduling myself for so many

adult events and responsibilities that I was in danger of not spending enough quality time with my kids.

And now that they’re grown and have adult events and responsibilities of their own, we will have to plan more carefully to make time for each other.

One strategy I have taken to using is actually scheduling time with them by putting it on my calendar, like I would any other meeting. That keeps me from falling into the trap of thinking “we have all the time in the world,” and then ending up with no time left.

One of our favorite things to do during vacation is schedule a whole day of movie watching, with a theme. Sometimes, it’s Disney.

Other times, it’s non-stop Harry Potter.

I know, I know, we’re not talking

Gift Home

to each other much when we’re watching movies, but there’s such feeling of camaraderie that comes with sitting around together, ignoring chores and responsibilities, and eating fun food with way too many calories.

It’s a great ‘being’ experience!

I love game nights, too. Everyone picks a game and we play one after the other until we run out of time.

This is when the conversation starts, usually about the rules and strategy and then gradually into other topics that come up when everyone is relaxed and feeling comfortable sharing.

Need to get out and move? Call the neighborhood friends and put together a game of Capture the Flag at the nearest park. Or go bowling or bouncing at one of those alltrampoline places.

Even if you’ve been experiencing tension in your family—maybe the grades aren’t looking so good, the chores aren’t getting done, the kids have challenging attitudes—make sure that you set those issues aside so that you spend time reminding yourselves that there is something to like about each other.

Connecting and having fun, with no strings attached, could be just what you need to get back on track as a family!

Time goes by quickly, so remember to give it as a gift to your children—not just during the holidays, of course, but all year long!

New music video reflects core beliefs of longtime NE Mesa resident Michele Baer has found a powerful way to increase awareness about the needs of others in the community and opportunities to help them.

Baer, who, with her husband, Sterling, has lived in the Groves area of northeast Mesa for 21 years, and raised six children who attended Mountain View High, combines her passion for service with her love for music in a recently released music video, “Refugees of the Heart.”

She says, while there has been increasing concern for millions of refugees around the world, who have fled from the ravages of abuse and war, “We often forget there are millions right next door, even ‘Refugees of the Heart,’ who are fighting their own secret battles every day.”

“Each of us has a responsibility to look around and find those who need a helping hand in our communities,” she says.

That’s where JustServe.org, a resource for those who want to help, and for whom she did the video, comes in.

While Baer used GoFundMe to raise money for video shoots in Washington, D.C., and in Sedona, she says the video was not created as a moneymaker. Any donations will be given to a JustServe organization.

Neighbors of similar spirit have kept the Baers in northeast Mesa for nearly three decades, she says.

“We chose to stay here specifically in northeast Mesa because of the strength of the families in the area and the choral-music program in the schools,” Baer said.

All six of her children, two of whom became doctors, were in the Mountain View choir.

“It felt like the wonderful bedroom communities of the San Francisco Bay area where we grew up,”she says.

Sterling, who founded a bicycling club in the neighborhood, and Michele both grew up in the Bay Area. She meet him after his LDS mission to Argentina.

They graduated from Brigham Young.

She has performed nationwide as a

soloist and in musicals, and has released four vocal inspirational CDs. For this music video, Baer used “Safe Harbors,” a song by Michael McLean, and called upon videographer Steve Porter, who is also from Mesa, to promote JustServe, a community-based, nondenominational initiative launched in Arizona two years ago.

The JustServe app and website connect the public to community organizations and alert them to service opportunities.

“JustServe is a vehicle that allows individuals to become Michele Baer. involved and to perform needed find opportunities to lift others in our service, as much or as often as they can,” Baer says. “It breaks down communities across the nation.”

Bobby-Q diy

With Mesans loving their barbeque, Bobby-Q recently expanded into the booming market.

Situated in a beautifully remodeled building on Stapley Drive and U.S. 60, Bobby-Q is consistently rated among the 10 best barbeques in Phoenix. Eager fans have longed for the restaurant to open its rustic doors in the East Valley.

Bobby-Q is owned by Bob Sikora and led by executive chef Mark Hittle. Bob is a legendary restaurateur and Phoenix native, who opened Mr. Lucky’s in 1966 and Bobby McGees in 1971.

Bobby-Q takes greeting guests to a new level, as my husband and I were met by seven smiling faces and the smell of smoky barbeque. We were quickly seated and took a few moments to just take in the ambiance of the inviting space.

As we meandered through the menu, we noted the “starters,” burgers, sandwiches, salads, woodfired barbeque platters, “winning combinations,” steaks, chicken, fish and desserts.

Menus are taken seriously at Bobby-Q: Eight of them (from take out to happy hour) are listed on the website. We were intrigued by Whole Hog Heaven ($49) but realized we would need a few more big eaters to attempt this massive feast.

The wait for our food was made very pleasant by the delicious cornbread, which is disc-shaped so it has a nice crust and a soft center.

was dropping by each table, so I asked him about his goals for Bobby-Q. He said that he wanted “to make sure that every-single guest leaves 100% happy with the food, the drinks, the service and the overall dining experience.”

His passion is carefully instilled in his professional staff and he stressed that “every detail is important from the steaks to the doughnuts.”

For our appetizer, the Q-Rolls were an innovative mash-up between barbeque and Mexican. Each roll is stuffed with smoked prime brisket, wrapped in a flour tortilla before frying and served with barbeque sauce and chipotle ranch sauce. The rolls were original and delicious and it is obvious why they are among the house favorites.

When the ribs and steak arrived at our table, we dove right in to the tantalizing entrees. The Baby Back Ribs ($27) had a dark sear and they were so tender and juicy the meat fell off the bones. The Wood Fired Top Sirloin ($21) is spicedrubbed and grilled over mesquite and almond wood. Its smoky rich flavor is enhanced by the barbeque sauce on top.

We sampled sides of grilled vegetables,

Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach

What’s Cooking?

For the dough: 1 cup butter, softened 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt

By Jan D’Atri

Try Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach for the holidays Happy Holidays Everyone!

If you’re looking for something wonderful to gift someone or serve at your holiday get-togethers, try one of my very favorite treats, Rugelach!

It’s said to have come from the Yiddish word “rugel,” meaning royal.

Rolled out delicate dough filled with a variety of ingredients, Rugelach (pronounced Rug-a-Lach) has grown in popularity from a Jewish specialty that was baked during the holidays to an American favorite enjoyed all year long.

It seems as though every country has its own version and name for Rugelach and there are hundreds of recipe

variations for this bite-size goody.

For the dough, sour cream or cream cheese is added to the flour, which makes for flavorful dough that’s extremely easy to work with. These oneor two-bite morsels generally are filled with ingredients like sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, raisins, chocolate, or preserves with a little cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.

Again, there are many ways to roll and cut Rugelach, but the classic shapes are crescents or slightly flattened squares.

I know that Rugelach is baked en masse for the Hanukkah celebration, but there are plenty of chances in the days ahead to make, bake and deliver these delicious and delicate gifts from the kitchen for the holidays ahead!

UPGRADE

TO A

For the filling 1 ½ cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups walnuts, finely chopped Directions: In a mixing bowl, blend butter and cream cheese until well incorporated.

Add flour, sugar and salt, blending well. Gather dough and divide into two balls. Refrigerate in plastic wrap for at least 1 to 2 hours. Meanwhile, make filling. In a bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts. When dough is chilled, cut each ball into two pieces. You will have 4 dough balls to work with.

For the crescent shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough ball into an approximate 9-inch circle 1/16 of an inch thick. Sprinkle ¼ of filling mixture over circle, leaving a ¼ inch border. Gently pat filling into dough.

Cut circle into 12 wedges. Roll each wedge up starting at the wide end to form a crescent. Sprinkle top with filling mixture.

For the square shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 9-inch long rectangle. Sprinkle ¼ of filling mixture over dough, leaving a ¼ inch border. Gently pat filling into dough.

Starting at the bottom, roll dough up tightly into tube shape. Gently flatten tube with your hands. Cut into 1-inch squares. Sprinkle tops with filling mixture.

Place pieces onto parchment lined (or lightly greased) baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Makes about 36 pieces. Dough can be made ahead and stored in plastic wrap for up to one week. Baked Rugelach can be frozen.

By Shelley Ridenour Banner Heart Hospital in northeast Mesa is among three Banner Health hospitals in the city honored recently by two organizations.

For the seventh time, Banner Heart made the top-50 list of cardiovascular hospitals in the United States, ranked by Truven Health Analytics, an IBM company.

National patient safety watchdog organization Leapfrog Group gave two other Banner Mesa hospitals an “A” ranking.

Banner Baywood Medical Center and Banner Desert Medical Center were deemed among the top hospitals for patient safety.

The Banner Heart ranking by Truven is based on multiple criteria, including its significantly higher inpatient survival

rates, fewer patients with complications, a higher 30-day survival rate and lower readmission rate, shorter lengths of stay for some bypass patients and the fact patients pay on average between $1,200 and $6,000 less than they’d pay at another hospital.

Banner Heart has made the top 50 Truven list for seven years.

“Being honored for our innovation and achievements for cardiovascular care shows we’re strongly committed to our patients,” Banner Health President and CEO Peter Fine said in a press release.

NAI Horizon negotiates $3.35M Humana adds 2 Iora Health primary-care practices in Mesa sale of Mesa shopping center Medicare beneficiaries to have more choices The NAI Horizon team of Senior Vice Presidents Barbara Lloyd and Lane Neville represented the seller in the $3.35 million sale of Grove Towne Center in Mesa.

Lloyd and Neville represented Grove Towne Center LLLP of Lone Tree, Colo.

“Our seller bought this property out of a distress situation and was able to add value through increased occupancy,” said Lloyd, CCIM. “The new owner will have the continued benefit of additional lease-up opportunity in a dynamic redevelopment corridor.”

The retail center, 1130 W. Grove Ave., totals 22,224 square feet. It was 74 percent occupied at the time of the sale. Tenants include Barro’s Pizza, Ike’s Love and Sandwiches and the Draft Sports Grill.

The buyers, Grove Arizona LLC and Nevada Ventures LLC of Calabasas, Calif., were represented

by Sean Bishop of Lee & Associates.

when seeking care Humana has added two Iora Primary Care practice locations in Mesa to its network, an effort, it says, to improve access to care and quality of care while increasing patients’ ability to manage their own care to improve their health and well-being.

The new Iora Health primary-care practices are at 9124 E. Main Street and at 5110 E. Southern Ave. They are among five added in the western U.S. to Humana’s Medicare Advantage Plan networks, to offer patient-focused care for Medicare beneficiaries, according toHumana.

“We believe that relationships are the missing link in health care,” said Duncan Reece, general manager and vice president for Iora Health.

“However, we find that Medicareeligible patients rarely receive enough time with their doctor, or the support and tools necessary to cope

with a complex health-care system.

“In just the first year, our Net Promoter Scores, at 90%, are consistently higher than most consumer brands,and hospitalization rates declined by 40 percent for our patients who have been engaged for at least one year.”

The new practices, operated by Iora Health, accept certain Medicare Advantage plans administered by Humana and do not accept Medicare Advantage plans administered by other carriers.

Humana and Iora strive to meet monthly to review member cases and issues. This helps ensure that members aren’t simply treated for what ails them, but are also provided with a more comprehensive team working on a plan. More information:www. iorahealth.com.
