One of the last times I visited with Gerardo Alcaraz he was recovering from a serious surgery in a skilled nursing facility in Tucson. He was in need of dialysis and was buoyed by being able to access the dialysis unit in Mammoth, about 10 miles from Oracle.  Gerardo Alcarez Today I ran into Gerardo in the Oracle Post Office. In our talk he told me the Mammoth dialysis unit was closed... to him and the many others dependent on the services of the facility all up and down the Copper Corridor.  That was the first I'd heard of it. Like me, most local residents were (and are) clueless ... unless you personally or a family member or close friend have needed dialysis.
"Nobody knew about the closure until it happened," Gerardo said. I promised him I'd do what I could to get the word out and help stir the pot ... so here I am trying to do just that. ------ ABC 15 article here: www.abc15.com/news/state/some-pinal-county-residents-concerned-over-lack-of-healthcare-as-dialysis-center-closes

AuthorKaz 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.
