Sun Life Shines Bright!

10/2/2022

  Kaz and I signed up for Covid vaccine # 5 at our local health clinic - Sun Life.  When we showed up Friday the parking lot was nearly full.

  Several friends were in the waiting room for the same reason we were.  A neighborly welcome for sure including from the folks who work there.
  That got me thinking about the importance of easy local access to health care.  Would we have driven 30 minutes or more to Oro Valley/Tucson for the same purpose?  Or, as in my case, likely put it off?  What about routine blood tests?  Another long drive?  Maybe put it off til next month or longer?  
  At age 76 I've had plenty of blood draws and watched many more (of parents and in laws).  One time I was jabbed three times by a sweating nurse who finally gave up and sent me up the street to a place with the ambiance of a methadone clinic.  That was in Tucson.  So I was a bit apprehensive about the jabbing and drawing my first time at Oracle Sun Life.  Guess what?  Easy in, easy out, vials filled, done.  Next time - same drill.  Same outcome.  What's not to like about that?

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
