00:00 As we start to age, making sure our heart stays healthy becomes more important.
00:06 And thank you to Archwell Health for sponsoring this segment because they are hosting Heart
00:10 Health Expos to make sure the community is staying connected with those who are there
00:15 to help.
00:16 Dr. Maxim, usually you're in the studio and now I'm in your stomping ground.
00:22 Yes, welcome.
00:23 Here at the Apache Junction Archwell Health Center facility, which is really cool.
00:28 Let's talk about this because usually when you're in we see the pictures, but now we're
00:31 here and this is what it's all about.
00:34 Yes, so welcome.
00:35 Yes, we're at our Apache Junction location.
00:38 All of the Archwell Healths are set up pretty similarly.
00:41 This is a primary care clinic, so we have members coming in and out and we have activity
00:46 centers where we have activities set up throughout the day for our members to come and enjoy
00:50 and spend time with friends and with our staff.
00:53 Yeah, and today's expo is giving those an opportunity to see the different things that
00:57 are offered through Archwell Health.
00:59 Yes, so February is Heart Health Month, so for the month of February we're sponsoring
01:05 Heart Healthy Expos at our centers.
01:07 So with these expos, members can come, they can see cooking demonstrations with a chef,
01:12 they can get a heart healthy cookbook.
01:14 We're also partnering with the community blood bank and they can donate blood and just learn
01:19 more about what Archwell has to offer.
01:20 Yeah, and that's what's so great is that this opportunity for people who might want to just
01:24 explore Archwell or who are part of Archwell Health to come and check out things.
01:28 Correct, so it's a chance for our members to come in, walk around, bring their family,
01:33 show them where they come to the doctor, and then for people who are interested in Archwell,
01:38 they can come and learn more about us, take a tour of the center, and see the care team
01:42 in action.
01:43 Why is this so important to our senior community?
01:46 Really, we want to spread the word about how to keep your heart healthy as you get older
01:51 and we also want to spread the word about Archwell just being a part of the community.
01:56 We want to be a place where people can come, see a friendly face, get some food, get some
02:01 education, but also be a place where they come for their primary care needs.
02:05 Yeah, I know when I walked in I saw people who were like, "Oh hey, you're here today,
02:09 I'm here today."
02:10 So it's also a place for meeting new friends and old friends too.
02:12 Yep, absolutely.
02:13 Our members become a community, they do events together, and then we see them often here.
02:19 We're all about prevention, so we like to see our patients all the time, we like to
02:22 know what's going on with them, so we see each other all the time.
02:25 Yeah, I love that.
02:26 Okay, with the Expo, it's free to come in for anybody who is, again, with Archwell Health
02:31 or not.
02:32 Correct.
02:33 And you're actually opening up to a lot of different locations, not just here at Patchy
02:35 Junction.
02:36 Correct.
02:37 So East Mesa, February 7th, will have their Heart Healthy Expo, and then also in the West
02:43 Valley we'll have expos at Surprise, Sun City, and Peoria as well.
02:47 Now, are all the times the same, because I know it's from 1 to 3, is that how it is with
02:51 all of them?
02:52 Yep, and they can go to archwellhealth.com/phoenix, that has all of the information about our
02:57 Heart Health Expos.
02:59 They can see the addresses and the times and the dates there.
03:01 I think this is great, what a great facility for, again, our seniors to come in, and I
03:05 love that you have a big smile on your face coming along with the staff and everybody,
03:08 because that's what it's about, right?
03:09 Yep, yep.
03:10 We love our members, we love to see them, and that's why we create such an inviting
03:14 space and we hold events, because we really want to engage the community.
03:17 There it is, alright, it is the Archwell Health Heart Expo, Heart Healthy Expo, that's going
03:23 on right now.
