Considering Patients Is a Virtue

I

n businesses large and small someone always seems to be espousing the importance of customer service. “The customer is always right.” “The customer is king.” “If you don’t take care of the customer, someone else will.” And—from David Ogilvy, the father of advertising—“The consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife.”

What if your work is medicine, taking care of folks in the most intimate way possible, protecting their lives to the best of your ability?

Yes, medicine is a clinical business, but combining effective customer service with the infinite variables of the human condition simply

cannot be reduced to a sound bite.

In this, our annual Health & Wellness issue, I noticed a theme emerge among those we’ve profiled: these folks really think about the patient; not just results, but the process of health care from the individual’s perspective.

Medical care is often a uniquely personal service. Maintaining a focus on the person behind the “customer” can make a world of difference. And that’s worth remembering no matter what business we’re in.

600-Unit Community Proposed for Airpark The owner of the former Buick/Pontiac/ GMC car dealership near the Costco and Home Depot on Hayden Road near Northsight Boulevard proposes developing the 12-acre site into an upscale 600-unit apartment complex. The Scottsdale Airpark Community would feature a “quasi-village environment,” with lush landscaping, open space, and pathways, according to city documents.

Joseph Cardinale, owner of Cardinale Automotive Group as well as Sunrise Luxury Living LLC, is requesting the city

approve a general plan amendment to allow a residential use of the site at 15333 N. Hayden Road—one of the last large contiguous parcels left in the Airpark that could accommodate a large multifamily development.

A report by city planning staff advocates the plan for several key reasons: The infill project, which could house approximately 1,000 people, would provide customers for local businesses; the incorporation of luxury elements and access to public

transportation is in keeping with the area’s character and mixed-use designation; and it would increase “workforce housing” in the Airpark for those who wish to work and recreate close to home.

Noise from the Loop 101 Freeway to the east and Scottsdale Airport to the west was not found to have a significant impact on the property or its potential as residences, according to various sound analyses. The Planning Commission was scheduled to hear the staff report on Sept. 21.

Art of Merlot Offers Fun in Old Town Art of Merlot is a fun, new and different, locally owned, social painting studio where the focus is on exploring the pleasure of painting. You bring your creative energies, style and sense of adventure, said owner Audra Simpson. Adults over 21 years of age are welcome to bring a bottle of wine to the BYOB classes. Everyone can bring snacks and appetizers. Guided instruction classes are offered in two- and three-hour periods. Experienced, professional artists

guide you to recreate one of the many exclusive paintings on display in the studio gallery, while enjoying a glass of wine. Everyone leaves with a painting at the end of class.

For families and artists 7 and older, Art of Merlot offers alcohol-free, family-friendly classes. Art of Merlot is at 7201 E. Main St., in Old Town Scottsdale. More: 480-945-1108; www.artofmerlot.com.

Kierland/Quarter Crossing Construction Gets Green Light Debate over how to best create a safe connection between the two shopping centers on Greenway Parkway/Butherus Road and Scottsdale Road has finally yielded a plan. As of press time, construction of a midblock crosswalk linking the Scottsdale Quarter to Kierland Commons was expected to start on Scottsdale Road before October. The $325,000 project is being funded by the city of Scottsdale and Glimcher Realty Trust, owner of the Quarter. The crossing north of Greenway Parkway is expected to be completed in early 2012.

Three companies will announce their relocation to Scottsdale in the next few weeks, according to Barry Broome, Greater Phoenix Economic Council president, who made the announcement at a Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce economic forum in September, reported azcentral.com. No further details could be announced about the firms due to a non-disclosure agreement, he said.

The city of Scottsdale wants the option to add energy-generating facilities such as solar power, pyrolysis (waste to energy), and algae fuel to the Scottsdale Water Campus, and is asking for the necessary permits and zoning for two city-owned properties at 8787 E. Hualapai Road and the northwest corner of Union Hills Drive and 68th Street.

Ice Den’s Third Rink Construction in Full Tilt Upon completion, the Ice Den in the Greater Airpark will be the only triple-ice facility in the state.

The 30,000-square-foot addition will alleviate the demand for ice time as well as play host to non-ice sports and events. The third rink is expected to open mid-November.

:: Good Works :: MASSAGE ENVY PHOENIX CO-OP HOSTS HEALING HANDS FOR ARTHRITIS Massage Envy, which is headquartered in the Scottsdale Airpark, has joined forces with the Arthritis Foundation to host Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to build awareness and raise funds to fight arthritis. On World Arthritis Day, Wednesday, Oct. 12, the Phoenix Massage Co-Op will donate $10 from every one-hour massage and facial to the Arthritis Foundation. Prices for facials and massages are $49 and $39.

“Partnering with the Arthritis Foundation was a natural fit, as we both a share a common understanding about the seriousness of the disease, the potential power of massage therapy to relieve certain symptoms, and what must be done to prevent, cure and control it,” said Cook.

Over the past two years, Massage Envy has donated nearly $100,000 to fund clinical research related to the benefits of massage therapy. Recent scientific studies have found that massage therapy increases immune function, decreases stress levels and reduces recovery time in many medical conditions including arthritis.

To find the Massage Envy center nearest you, visit massageenvy.com or MassageEnvyAZ on Facebook. To make an appointment for the Healing Hands for Arthritis event, call 602-992-ENVY(3689).

Personal Training 101 is pleased to announce its efforts to fight breast cancer. In support of October ’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, PT 101 will be donating a percentage of money from each new client signup to the Susan G.

CCS Celebrates the big 2-0 CCS, the largest audio and visual integrator in the Southwest, celebrated its 20th anniversary with a national sales summit at Talking Stick Resort last month, bringing together its customers and partners from 13 states. The Airpark-based company showcased its A/V technology in the resort’s award-winning CCS-designed Professional Poker Room, which is the technological centerpiece of the 240,000-square-foot casino gaming area.

In addition to its 20-year milestone, CCS celebrated multiple successes for its work and industry impact in 2011. CCS won a coveted 2011 ProAV Spotlight Award in the Casino A/V Project Category for its work on Talking Stick Resort. CCS was also recognized this year by Inc. magazine for the third consecutive year as a top growth company by making the Inc. 5000 list.

CCS continues to make its mark among Arizona K-12 educators for its annual Classroom Solutionz grant opportunity that helps teachers win a technology-infused classroom and equipment training worth thousands of dollars. In 2011, CCS will award grants to multiple teachers for the first time as it expands the program.

LAI International, a supplier of precision components and subassemblies for equipment manufacturers, made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held U.S. companies for the fifth-consecutive year. LAI International ranked 4,477 on Inc.’s annual ranking and recorded a three-year growth rate of 18 percent.

“As an Inc. 5000 honoree, LAI International shares a prestigious pedigree with such notable alumni as Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Jamba Juice, Timberland, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Oracle, Zipcar and scores of other powerhouses,” said Jane Berenson, Inc. editor-in-chief, in a letter to LAI. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based and privately held, independent and have had at least $100,000 in revenue in 2006, and $2 million in 2010. LAI International is headquartered in the Scottsdale Airpark.

Let’s face it, the younger generation is just not into ping pong and sandlot baseball.

They’re seeking the adrenaline rush and thrill that mountain biking offers, and that’s exactly what they’ll find at McDowell Mountain Regional Park’s new pump track, which provides cyclists with a continuous loop with dirt mounds, bank curves, berms, bumps and grooves. Even more impressive, Maricopa County Parks Department managed to build the facility on a very limited budget of $7,000, which was a factor in the pump track project being named one of 25 Maricopa County winners of the annual National Association of Counties Achievement Awards this summer.

Est Est Scores Design Awards

Est Est Inc., Scottsdale’s oldest interior design firm, received the most interior design awards at the local annual awards ceremony for the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).

In fact, Est Est has set a record-winning total of 41 awards in the last three years.

Grabbing the “Best in Show” commercial award for its design of a technology company’s showroom, Est Est also took home first place awards for the model design at Chateau on Central, universal design for the Chrysalis Center in Phoenix’s remodel, green design for a modern residence in Scottsdale and special function award for a fantasy-inspired children’s room in Paradise Valley.

Est Est also took home several second-and third-place awards, including second place for Model Space at the W Residences in Scottsdale.

“We are honored to be recognized for our work across the board at this year’s ASID awards,” said Tony Sutton, owner and president of Est Est. “Arizona continues to increase its name recognition nationwide as a city with amazing talent, and this year is no exception. These awards show the depth of local talent among commercial, residential and hospitality projects, and Est Est is proud to receive these highly regarded accolades.”

Leading the design direction for some of Arizona’s most noteworthy projects throughout its 50-year history, Est Est’s reach is not only East Coast to West Coast, but also extends internationally with projects completed in Mexico, Canada and Europe. Led by Sutton, the Est Est also boasts one of the largest resource libraries in the United States.

Grayhawk Plaza will soon be home to Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, owned and operated by R/E/C Management Inc., a Phoenix-based company that created Arcadia Tavern in Phoenix, Martini Ranch in Old Town Scottsdale, and two other concepts in San Diego. The new 2,400-squarefoot restaurant, scheduled to open in early October, will feature sports, news and entertainment programming on 15 high-def plasma TVs. “But the main attraction will be our food: delicious to the taste, oversized and fairly priced,” said S. Barrett Rinzler,

president of the company. “To make sure we get the buzz going, we will be hosting an ongoing ‘Burger Challenge’ that ups the ante each time by adding another patty to the burger. The first one starts at three patties and weighs nearly 2 pounds fully dressed. Big eaters will come back again and again for their own individual place on our ‘Wall of Fame.’” The décor will feature a rugged wood and old-school design with a hint of modern flair.

“The cuisine is much more approachable so that you don’t have to be an expert foodie to understand it,” says Director of Food & Beverage Bernard Philippe. Latilla was an early trailblazer of incorporating locally sourced, farm-raised and organic products, and the restaurant even cultivates its own gardens. The shift to Mediterranean cuisine was a natural evolution. “The cuisine is not fussy but sophisticated, much like the ambiance of Latilla. The entire dining experience is relaxed and inviting,” says Latilla’s Chef de Cuisine Stephen Jones.

Debuting on the new Latilla menu for fall are some top-shelf comfort entrees like Duck Confit, Petrale Sole and Mushroom Risotto. The wine list has also changed to complement the new menu, including a few Old World classics and a selection of elegant flavors from Italy, Burgundy and the Rhône regions. The menu also boasts a weekly three-course prix fixe option with wine pairings.

Latilla, a AAA four-diamond signature restaurant, is a casually elegant and warm space renowned for its dramatic architecture that includes two 20-foot Engelman Spruce tree trunks. More: www.theboulders.com

:: Property Matters :: Helix, an Arizona-based commercial real estate company, announced that Next Gen Real Estate has purchased a 26,425-square-foot retail and office building in the Scottsdale Airpark at 15023 N. 73rd St. Helix will be managing the property.

Helix provides a variety of real estate services to clients, including asset management, investment services, sales, leasing and development.

‘Zocallo Plaza’ Plans for 240 Units

A Scottsdale developer wants to tear down the now-defunct Barcelona nightclub and build apartments on a site north of the Scottsdale Quarter, reports azcentral.com. “The Residences at Zocallo Plaza,” a four-story, 240-unit apartment complex at Greenway-Hayden Loop and 73rd Street, could replace the nightclub and office building on the 6.5-acre site, which would have to be rezoned for residential use. If approved, construction may begin late next year and take about 18 months to complete.

Fashion Outlets Eyes Loop 101

The parent company of Westcor is in a partnership with the AWE Talisman Co. to build the Fashion Outlets of Scottsdale at Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road, according to azcentral.com. It is not known whether the project would be built on the Phoenix or Scottsdale side of Scottsdale Road, which has major tax implications.

The Bar North at Kierland Commons was closed for a couple days in September after it caught fire, according to azcentral.com. The fire started in a Dumpster and spread to the bar ’s back wall. No one was hurt. The restaurant/bar, which is owned by Sam Fox, recently underwent a $500,000 remodeling project, which was not damaged.

Scottsdale Is Ground Zero in Fight Against Cancer Unique partnership relays research, clinical trials and outstanding patient care into a unified stop-at-nothing team

By Emily Soccorsy

T

here’s a race going on in Scottsdale. It’s not a triathlon or marathon or bicycle race. For those involved, this contest has all the urgency of the race to the moon. It involves acts of courage, endurance and cutting-edge science.

It’s the race to find effective treatments for cancer—and to end the disease affecting 11.7 million Americans, the disease responsible for 1 out of every 4 American deaths.

The team in the lead identifies themselves with a collection of acronyms: TGen, TD2, SHC, VGPCC. But what they do, who they are, is a partnership of world-class scientists, clinicians, physicians, nurses and healthcare advocates working nearly round-the-clock, leveraging the entire human genome to fight the big C. Their most novel weapon is the ability to blow through the bureaucracy that has plagued longstanding research centers. Equipped with the tools to individualize treatments for patients based on their own cancer cells, this partnership has the ability to relay those treatments to patients within days of discovering them.

“It’s really putting together the whole package and that’s what’s going to make us the leader in the whole world,” says Dr. Stephen Gately, president and chief scientific officer of TGen Drug Development or TD2, located in north Scottsdale.

It’s already put Scottsdale on the map, specifically the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trials, as one of the best places in the country and the world for patients to receive cancer care. That’s a reward well worth the investment Scottsdale Healthcare made seven years ago when no other institution would agree to partner on creating a cutting-edge cancer clinic in the Valley.

Patients now come to Scottsdale for treatment from far-flung parts of the world—Australia, Europe and Asia, and from throughout the United States.

Connecting all of these acronyms and treating these patients is Dr. Daniel Von Hoff.

He serves as physician-in-chief and distinguished professor of TGen, the Translational Genomics Research Institute; executive vice president and director of TD2; continued on page 18

That Last

By Emily Soccorsy Editor’s Note: When we asked Emily if she’d be interested in writing our cover story, she told us about her family’s involvement with Dr. Daniel Von Hoff and the TGen program at Scottsdale Healthcare. The business of caring for others, especially those grappling with fearsome diseases such as cancer, is intensely personal—for the patient, and their friends and family—as anyone who has been through the ordeal can attest. Yet that human element often goes missing in the media’s black-and-white coverage of the science involved. We thank Emily for agreeing to share her personal story as well.

M

y mother, healthy her entire life, was diagnosed with cancer in 2009. She was only 62 years old. Had it been breast or lung cancer, we might have had more of a chance.

But it was pancreatic cancer.

The American Cancer Society projects 44,030 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011, and 37,660 will die of the disease. The majority of pancreatic cancer diagnosis will be metastatic disease.

Like my mom’s, their disease has already spread beyond the pancreas. Those patients have a 1.8 percent chance of living longer than five years.

For our tightly-knit family, and for me as my mother’s only daughter, the diagnosis was shocking. She was never sick when I was a child.

She had never smoked, she kept in great shape, she ate well.

We confronted the horrible statistics on pancreatic cancer mortality, then made up our minds it would not apply to our family. After my mom underwent successful surgery to remove the tumor and parts of her pancreas and intestine, she committed herself to a fight.

Six months of chemotherapy followed by six weeks of radiation left my mother depleted, but ever hopeful her work as the good and willing patient would pay off with a bye to that 1.8 percent.

After a holiday spent putting the past year behind us, 2010 dawned with fresh horror—the disease had spread again.

It was then my mother came under the care of the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trial and Dr. Von Hoff.

The treatment at Dr. Von Hoff’s gentle hands was a breath of fresh air. My mom truly seemed to be the only patient he saw, he and his team gave so much time and attention to her.

When she showed up with three, four and five in her entourage of friends and family, the team smiled, welcomed them all and brought

in extra chairs. When she ached, they aided.

When my Dad sent 5 a.m. emails, they responded at 7 a.m. When my family needed another explanation of how the drug worked or why this seemed the best route to pursue, it was given, completely and thoroughly.

Dr. Von Hoff even gave my mom permission to fire him if they couldn’t bring her chemo symptoms under control. But they always did.

That year brought treatment and travel, times spent with family and dear friends, enjoying life, sharing birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas celebrations and everyday moments of joy my mom used to refer to as “peak moments.”

What a precious gift that year was to her, and to all who loved her.

But her treatments faded in their efficacy, and while she attempted new treatments in 2011, my mom did not benefit from them as we all wished.

In May 2011, she passed away in my arms.

Loving a cancer patient is tough, but it’s nothing compared to being a cancer patient. It’s a battering, relentless fight that never stops trying to beat you down.

So the type of care you choose, from whom, where and how you choose to receive it, is essential.

Those who find themselves taking on cancer need to ensure they select a cancer care team they are comfortable with. Seek out people who are enabled to bring the best therapeutic options to the table. Stop at nothing to find a team that will truly listen and respond to meet your needs.

I admired my mother so much before cancer came into her life. After witnessing all she did to fight, that admiration has expanded and swelled my heart. I am so proud she chose to fight.

When the end came, my mom told us she only had one regret—that she didn’t have more time to love us all.  October 2011 Scottsdale Airpark News | 19

and chief scientific officer of the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trials Program at Scottsdale Healthcare.

And while he understands the big picture: “There’s no question, the cure to cancer will be a genetic one,” Dr. Von Hoff says, his daily motivation is simple.

Getting patients the care they need—immediately.

“You’ve got to have it now, when there is somebody sitting in front of you,” he says, his gray-green eyes locking to emphasize the point. “With our very active patient involvement, you see it everyday. You want to try to do something, right then, not [say] ‘OK, it’s good for the future.’”

One recent success born out of this team of Scottsdale experts will soon be published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

It pertains to the discovery of a vulnerable part of pancreatic tumors referred to as the SPARK target. TD2 identified and tested a drug to hit the SPARK target, increasing the survivorship for pancreatic cancer patients from six months to a year, on average.

“It shows that the survivorship of patients with stage four metastatic pancreas cancer has doubled over what the agent gemcitabine does alone,” Von Hoff says.

Without treatment, a patient with the diagnosis has a three-month survival.

While doubling one’s lifeline sounds like an accomplishment, Von Hoff isn’t near satisfied.

“It still isn’t what we want, but it is an advance against the disease and it really came from targeting that we did at TGen,” he says. “I’m glad our patients had a shot at it first.”

TGen is now giving the rest of the world its shot, as it coordinates an 840patient expanded worldwide trial of SPARK, based right here in Scottsdale.

“What we are trying to do is to build on that; find out what else could we add,” Von Hoff says.

The conglomeration is also making steady advancements against pancreas and lung cancer as well as other advanced or rare cancers. In July, the partnership announced promising results from a breast cancer drug being tested in the clinic that was effective in significant shrinkage of tumors.

So the pace clicks on, not in a steady trot, but at a rapid clip, and runs in several directions at once.

Lindsay Thomas, director of Oncology Services at Scottsdale Healthcare, has seen this firsthand. A 25-year veteran of Scottsdale Healthcare, Thomas works alongside TGen, directing cancer care at the Virginia G. Piper center.

“What typically takes a long time in academic centers … it could be 14 years before it ends up with the patient, we can turn around the time to get that into a phase 1 study in about four weeks,” Thomas says. “That’s what makes us unique. We are more agile, we can quickly get that to happen, which is very important from the patient’s standpoint.”

For cancer patients, the clock does not stop ticking. It may unexpectedly accelerate on a fatal path at any moment.

“We’re talking about cancer patients, we’re talking about timing issues,” Thomas says.

But science takes time, particularly at the genetic level. Once seen as a roadblock, the Scottsdale team has approached it as a hurdle. Drawing on its collective strength of collaboration, it is leaping the challenges of genetic-based care.

“We’ve taken a lot of patient’s cancers, and we’re sequencing total whole genomes,” Von Hoff says. “We just finished three patients’ pancreatic cancers, sequencing every gene. We do that both for the person’s normal DNA and for their tumor DNA and then we’re able to examine what are the differences.

We do have some pretty exciting new findings in that area.”

To provide perspective of how great a task this is, Von Hoff offers a visual.

Imagine collecting the contents of an entire law library, and shredding it.

Then visualize putting it all back together. That is the task of sequencing a cancer genome, Von Hoff says.

“We use the ASU supercomputer to do that,” he says. “It’s a huge tour de force that takes 12 weeks. It’s 3 billion base pairs.” One person’s heart beats 3 billion times in a lifetime. The cost of sequencing one patient’s cancer is $157,000.

It’s science on a massive scale, but it’s done for the individual.

“The new coming thing in cancer care and chemotherapy is this targeted approach,” Thomas explains, describing how cancer treatment once meant supplying one drug that did well against breast cancer to all types of breast cancer patients and hoping it would work for as many people as possible.

“Now it’s more about what are your specific tumor characteristics,” Thomas says. “That’s the whole way cancer care in general is going, and that’s fabulous for patients because it means better response rates, less side effects and better response times.” continued on page 18

Meanwhile, TD2 is churning away with promising new drugs.

“We see when the drug works best and when it doesn’t work, and we align that to patients that have the same DNA,” Gately says. “We want to find the right drug for the right patient, every time.”

When it works, the results make the patient happy, the TD2 team happy and the clinic staff happy, too.

“We love win-win scenarios here,” Gately says.

The Scottsdale partnership approach is the future of cancer care.

It stands in stark contrast to the static laboratory paradigm of the past, where scientists hypothesized, tested and then made their way through an arduous process to bring treatment to patients.

Von Hoff says the Scottsdale partnership differentiates itself as people who are doing science as safely and rapidly as possible so they can apply it now.

“That’s an unusual thing, rapid application with a sense of urgency,” Von Hoff says. “I think that’s because of a constant exposure to patients and their needs and their family members.

These are not patients, these are people.”

Gately agrees.

“We go to lunch with the patients we are trying to help. We get daily reminders of the people we have to help,” he admits.

It’s what Von Hoff demands of his team. That and a stop-atnothing focus on patients.

“Patients’ comfort and treatment come first,” Von Hoff says.

“The patient is always right.”

Von Hoff makes total symptom relief—be it pain, nausea, digestive issues, fatigue—his goal for each patient.

“There’s always something you can do for them,” Von Hoff says. “We want them to live with quality and quantity.”

LOW RATES??? L

Scottsdale Healthcare’s Thomas echoes those sentiments, and points out research has shown patients on a clinical trial do better than those who are not involved in a clinical trial.

“If you are a clinical trial patient, you are watched very carefully and since you need to document everything happening with that drug you have a team at your disposal that are asking you questions and making sure every little symptom and every little hiccup is addressed and resolved,” Thomas says.

The oncology team at Scottsdale Healthcare makes sure all other concerns are addressed as well.

“We have the gamut [of services],” Thomas explains. “Within the Virginia G. Piper center we have people to do all the work for you, and let you just put your energy toward your disease and taking care of yourself. Let us deal with all of the other things and let us help you and your family as you go through this journey you never wanted to be on.”

Services include counseling, nutritional therapy, exercise, insurance coordination and family outreach, among others.

These services are coordinated by a master ’s level cancer care nurse coordinator individually assigned to each patient.

The results of this collaborative Scottsdale partnership have been impressive: dozens of studies, breakthroughs occurring regularly, remissions, and responsive cancer treatments that provide more time for patients to live their lives at a higher quality.

“We have the most clinical trials with the most new mechanisms of action,” Von Hoff says.

“I do think cancer will be cured. There’s improvement of survival already. Every week there’s a breakthrough. I think having a group like this chipping away at it everyday, we’re going to do it.” 

Ambulance IN the Sky Airpark’s growing Angel MedFlight transports patients around globe

W

hen Shannon Chettri sat at her son’s bedside in an Oregon hospital 2,000 miles away from their home in Texas, she felt helpless.

The family was on vacation last April when 3-year-old Logan suddenly developed a rare disorder that attacked his nervous system and left him paralyzed. Unable to fly commercially or endure the long road trip home, Logan faced months in the hospital. Chettri was beside herself.

When she heard about an air ambulance service out of Scottsdale that could transport Logan to a medical center in Texas quickly and safely, she contacted the company. Minutes later, Jeremy Freer called her back.

“From the time I talked to Jeremy to the time I got home and even now, they’ve been involved.

They arranged everything,” she said. “They took care of my son like it was their own child.”

Jeremy Freer, founder and CEO of Angel MedFlight, is in the process of acquiring a second Learjet 60, which he describes as the next generation in medical transport.

Freer is the founder and CEO of Angel MedFlight, the air ambulance company that brought Logan and his mother home.

Handling client requests directly isn’t unusual for Freer.

The former flight paramedic started the company because he wanted to provide a level of personalized service he felt was missing from the industry.

The company’s team of nurses, paramedics, case managers and aviation experts manage every detail of a patient’s transport, from bedside to bedside. That includes coordinating air and ground transportation, handling luggage, working with physicians at both sending and receiving facilities, assisting with insurance claims and communicating with patients and their families from start to finish.

“Other companies will ask you where are you going, where are you coming from, and they’ll give you a price quote. And

that’s it,” Freer said. “The real difference with us is we take care of a lot of things patients and their families have to worry about, and we take them on because we care. It’s very evident that it works, as we have continued to grow tremendously year over year.”

A Growing Fleet

Since its start in 2007, the Airpark-based company has transported thousands of critically ill or injured patients from around the world.

Patients are flown in private jets with high-tech medical equipment and a highly trained crew. On each flight are two pilots, a licensed critical care nurse and a paramedic. The aircraft and crew are stationed across the country and dispatched from point to point.

Angel MedFlight uses five aircraft that are supplied by two aviation charter companies, one of which Freer ’s company recently acquired.

The wholly owned subsidiary, KLA Aerospace Services, supplies two aircraft, a Learjet 35 and a Learjet 60. It’s in the process of acquiring a second Learjet 60, which Freer describes as the next generation in medical transport. The jet offers twice as much cabin space, longer-range capabilities and the ability to fly at higher altitudes.

Adults Learn to “Jeremy makes incredible investments in the company,” said Kim Halloran, the company’s executive vice president. “He makes sure we have every piece of technology and every piece of equipment … At 40,000 feet, there’s no room for error.”

Freer is also planning to install cameras on aircraft to allow for more transparency of the process and greater access for families.

“This is one of the things that truly sets us apart from the rest of the industry,” Freer said. “We try to put ourselves in the patient’s and family’s shoes.”

Streamlining an Industry

Freer got an early start in both medicine and aviation. At just 16 years old, he volunteered with the fire department in his hometown in rural Ohio. There, he became a paramedic.

When he was 19, he moved to Arizona to pursue his interest in medicine. He enrolled at Midwestern University and immediately found a job working as a flight paramedic for a local air ambulance company.

“It’s a lot of people’s dream to be involved in aviation,” he said. “It’s just a very, very cool thing. I still sit outside on a runway and will look at aircraft and think ‘hmm, I wonder where they’re going,’ and wish I were on it. “ Working nights and weekends flying around the world as a paramedic helped pay for his education. But it did more than that. It defined his life’s work.

Freer saw the inefficiencies within the industry and knew he could streamline the transportation process for patients. At 25, he left medical school, just one year before graduation, and started Angel MedFlight.

He created a bedside-to-bedside service called the One Touch Promise, which assures patients that all details of their transport will be handled for them.

“I am very passionate about trying to help give people something they would not have had otherwise,” said Freer, now 29. “It’s all about giving back.”

Fighting for Coverage

Part of Angel MedFlight’s full-service approach is assisting patients with insurance claims.

An air ambulance transport is costly. The base price is about $15,000, said Halloran, adding that the true cost depends on several factors including the condition of the patient, where the aircraft is and where it needs to go. continued on page 26 October 2011 Scottsdale Airpark News | 27

Many patients rely on health benefits to cover the cost. Insurance companies, however, will often deny claims even when patients are entitled to coverage, Freer said.

From the start, he was determined to help patients navigate the complicated process.

“I went and studied insurance law inside and out and fortunately became very good at it,” he said. “I started holding insurance companies to doing what the federal regulations require them to do with certain kinds of insurance plans.”

Angel MedFlight’s case managers and flight coordinators are also trained in insurance law, so they can represent families.

In addition, Freer hired attorneys to help patients and their families fight denied claims.

“They’re already stressed out,” he said. “They don’t need to deal with the insurance company.”

Making a Difference

Chettri knows what it’s like to be stressed out and denied coverage.

Before she contacted Angel MedFlight, a case manager at the hospital in Oregon looked into an air ambulance for Logan. Insurance wouldn’t cover the service because it wasn’t considered a medical necessity, Chettri said.

“The hospital at that point was like, ‘we can’t fight with them,’ so they dropped it right there,” she said.

When she connected with Freer, she explained what had happened.

“He was like ‘give me the insurance you have’ and he immediately got on top of it,” she said.

28 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

Angel MedFlight worked with Chettri’s insurance company and was able to obtain payment for the flight.

Chettri was relieved.

But more than that, she’s grateful to Freer and his team for helping her family when they needed it most.

“It was amazing how quickly my son started to recover once we got back,” she said, attributing his progress in part to the support of family and friends who visited Logan daily when returned to Texas. “Within two or three days, they got him off the ventilator.”

Today, Logan is walking and attends speech and physical therapy every week.

Chettri can’t thank Angel MedFlight enough for getting them out of Oregon and back home among family and friends.

“They got my family back together, and they got my son back home where he could get better faster,” she said. “If it wasn’t for them we might still be there. Stuck.” 

Someburros’ Combo Special: Fast-Casual Family Recipes

By Mark J. Scarp

Someburros The Scottsdale Promenade 7501 E. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd.

480-443-TACO (8226) www.someburros.com

Someburros co-owner Tim Vasquez opened Someburros' fifth location at the Promenade last November. The décor is mission style with warm autumn colors on the walls, floors and furnishings.

T

he old tradesman’s adage goes, “Price, speed, quality: Pick two.” Sometimes in the restaurant industry, it’s pretty clear which two a dining establishment is focusing on.

The reason some casual spots pride themselves in their ability to get your lunch to you in less than 12 minutes may be because they hope you don’t concentrate too much on how it tastes.

The food arrives quickly at Someburros, which expanded to the Airpark less than a year ago. And what restaurateurs call the “price point” is lower than at traditional sit-down places. But as co-owner Tim Vasquez describes it, it’s the more than 40-year-old traditional Sonoran recipes of the Vasquez family that inspires customers to return and kept a family-owned chain operating for a quarter century.

The menu and its items’ special combination of Mexican spices have not changed since the first store opened in Tempe in 1986, he said.

30 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

The first Someburros was the successor to a restaurant his grandparents, Isabel and Eusevio “Poncho” Vasquez, opened in 1972 in South Phoenix under the moniker Poncho’s Mexican Food and Cocktails.

Isabel and her sister, Socorro, came up with the recipes at Poncho’s, where President Bill Clinton dined during a Valley visit in 1999, and which is still serving customers today.

Fourteen years later, Poncho’s son George and his wife, Mary, started Someburros at Mill Avenue and Baseline Road in Tempe.

The family also opened two stores in Gilbert and one in Chandler over the past decade.

Right Time for Fast-Casual

Vasquez, who in the 1990s pitched for the Arizona State University baseball team, said his family had been eyeing the former Krispy

Kreme location at 7501 E. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. for more than three years.

The Airpark area with its many businesses, plus the high number of retail outlets in the surrounding Promenade, made it worth wanting, he said. But it took a while.

After the nationwide doughnut chain collapsed into fewer locations and closed its Promenade storefront, the family was able to secure the building last November, and Someburros had its fifth location.

Open a restaurant at a time when many people are trimming their entertainment budgets? Sure, said Vasquez, who called his chain’s offerings “fast/casual,” a concept that lies between fast-food and full sit-down service.

“The fast/casual concept is up and coming,” he said of the location, featuring counter service and a mission-style décor dining area, decorated in warm browns, oranges and yellows. “The price point is lower. A family of four can eat here for between $25 and $30.”

Vasquez said it’s a model that works well at other restaurants such as Pei Wei Asian Diner or Wildflower Baking Co. Of course, neither of those places features a pick-up window. Someburros kept the old Krispy Kreme drive-thru lane.

Vasquez’s grandmother’s and great aunt’s classic recipes take a bit longer than, say, a Big Mac or Blizzard. So it’s really a phone order window used by customers who call ahead for a pick-up order, he said.

And the family business also has a catering operation, another difference between it and the fast-food spots.

Vasquez pointed to two keys to his family’s business success: They find and keep good, dedicated employees, and they maintain a passion for what they do.

“Be passionate about what you do every day,” he said. “It makes doing it a lot easier.” 

Scottsdale Has Always Been Fashionable Photos Courtesy of the Scottsdale Historical Society

F

ashion trends may come and go, but Scottsdale as a fashion center has always been in style. Many times during our town’s history we’ve been the source of fashion materials, movers-andshakers and motifs.

Native people who lived or traveled through Scottsdale crafted their “fashions” to the climate and natural environBy Joan Fudala ment. Wearing brief cloths during the hot summer months, the Pimas often shocked the 1880s settlers in Scottsdale who were Victorian-minded and attired. Native Americans wove cloth from natural fibers, deriving colors from plants in the surrounding Sonoran desert.

Trappers came to the banks of the Gila and Salt Rivers in the 1800s to capture beavers and muskrats for their fur, which was highly desirable for men’s and women’s hats and to trim coats and other items of apparel. From the late 1800s to well into the 20th century, ostriches grown on Valley farms provided not only meat (ratite), but over-sized feathers for ladies’ hats and boas.

Scottsdalians during the town’s first 50 years were primarily farmers, ranchers and those who supported the agrarian economy, so their workday fashions were geared toward the climate and working outdoors. Everyone in town, however, dressed up on Sundays to attend church. Reflective of the more formal living they left behind on the East Coast or Midwest, early Scottsdale residents dressed up, even on picnics, when women wore long dresses, long sleeves and hats, and men wore coats, vests and ties. Hats were always in vogue in Scottsdale to protect men, women and children from the constant sunshine.

Scottsdale residents through 1945 were of modest means with little leisure time, so fashions tended to be American-designed and utilitarian; many garments were home-sewn.

Here’s a patchwork of fashionable facts about Scottsdale through the decades.

Early Trends

 Circa 1913, Pima cotton became Scottsdale and the Valley’s cash crop. It was a valuable commodity during World War I, providing material for uniforms as well as other war supplies.  During the Great Depression, there was a federally funded program with a site in Scottsdale where women sewed clothes and household items that others on relief could use; the seamstresses were paid a small fee for their piecework.  Although there was not a store for clothing only in Scottsdale until after World War II, the Boston Store and a few other pre-war merchants provided basic clothes to farmers and ranchers. Townsfolk traveled into downtown Phoenix to shop at Goldwater ’s, Korrick’s and other department stores for their fashions.

With rationing that impacted everything from silk stockings to rubber, the fashion industry was on hold. Some local women and young ladies wore slacks or dungarees while working on their family farms; however, the national need for women of all ages to work in defense industries led to more acceptance of women wearing trousers.

Western Wear!

 During the Great Depression and World War II, American moviegoers grew fond of Westerns, and admired male and female “cowboy” attire. At war ’s end in 1945, Scottsdale—a true Western town with cattle ranches and working cowboys—was in the perfect place to serve up anything and everything Western. Adopting the slogan The West’s Most Western Town, Scottsdale merchants began opening Western clothing stores such as Saba’s, Porter ’s, and Swick’s that catered to both residents and tourists.  Artists and craftspeople—many coming to Scottsdale as veterans of World War II— worked together to re-image the downtown area as an arts, crafts and Southwesternstyled fashion center. The first arts and crafts center opened in an old general store at Brown and Main in 1946. The Arizona Craftsmen included silversmith Wes Segner and leather crafter Lloyd Kiva among its resident artisans.  After a fire destroyed the Arizona Craftsmen building in 1950, the artists and fashion crafters moved to a new area just north of town, now known as Fifth Avenue.

Segner continued to produce jewelry and other silver items; Kiva and his apprentices produced handmade leather purses, jackets, belts and also silkscreened fabrics that they made into shirts, skirts, dresses and coats.

Fifth Avenue, Dahling

 Other fashion artists creating their wearable art on Fifth Avenue and throughout Scottsdale in the 1950s included: Christine Rae (silk-screened fabrics), Leona Caldwell (silk-screened and embroidered casual wear), Alexander Lowal (goldsmith), Soledad and Ray Mercado (resort wear), Lucille and Louella Tolby and Barbara Haines (handpainted fabrics), Pat Thompson (skirts, ties and aprons hand-painted with Pat’s unique graphic designs), Gene of the Desert (Gene Brown Pennington’s hand-painted apparel), Adin (Mabel Adin Richardson, a silversmith and gem cutter), Gra-Wun (hand-crafted Southwestern jewelry by members of the Graves and Wunderlich families) and Bitner ’s (fine gemstones and minerals).  Jane Rau, best known in recent years for her McDowell Sonoran preservation advocacy, operated the Young Set shop on Fifth Avenue, silk-screening her own designs on children’s clothes. continued on page 34

Fashion Showcase 1950s Jewels

 Several shops that opened in the 1950s specialized in Arizona Native American jewelry and fabrics that were produced in house or brought from artists on reservations in Northern Arizona.  H. Fred Skaggs, who died in 1983, and his wife, Lillian, opened their jewelry shop in 1956, where Fred handcrafted jewelry. Fred was a mentor to famous jeweler Charles Loloma, and was also instrumental in luring custom perfumer Erne away from the downtown Phoenix Goldwater ’s store and into Kiva Crafts Center, where he served celebrity clients with unique scents until his death in 2003.  Charles Loloma, a graduate of the Phoenix Indian School and veteran of World War II, began as a potter, then decided to try his hand at stylized Native American jewelry. Within a few years, he was taking his gems to shows in Paris and New York, and was a ‘fan favorite’ throughout the Phoenix metro area.

The Heard Museum has many of Loloma’s pieces on display; he died in the 1990s.  Goldwater ’s department store opened its first branch in Scottsdale in 1950 on the northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and First Avenue (present site of Schlotsky’s), bringing a new level of style to the Western community. Goldwater ’s became the first anchor store at Scottsdale Fashion Square when it opened in fall 1961, and continued to introduce Scottsdale residents and visitors to local and international fashion celebrities, couture and events.  Jerome of Scottsdale, Goldfield’s, Morton’s and other boutiques opened among the fashion houses, adding the Scottsdale’s fashion cachet to the growing number of well-heeled tourists coming to Scottsdale in the 1950s and 1960s.

 In January 1951, the fashion show of all fashion shows took place on a runway down Main Street. Models from Harper’s Bazaar premiered the spring collection called “Sunset Pinks,” as hundreds of spectators watched along the street and from rooftops along Main Street. The coverage in Harper’s Bazaar, Arizona Highways and other publications really put Scottsdale on the fashion map.  To showcase the fashions created and sold along Fifth Avenue and throughout Scottsdale, the merchants collaborated on frequent fashion shows held at local resorts or right on the street! Imagine the shows taking place right down the center of Fifth Avenue, staged during the winter tourist season from the mid-1950s into the 1960s. Lloyd Kiva usually commentated.

Celebrities like Acquanetta and Valerie Perrine joined local models to show the fashions and accessories created by Fifth Avenue fashion and craft artisans.  Lloyd Kiva was the key figure in Scottsdale’s fashion industry from the late 1940s through the 1960s. After gaining a national following for his stylized Navajo medicine bags made into very chic ladies purses (and decorated by a clasp designed by friend and fellow artist Charles Loloma), Kiva traveled internationally to promote Scottsdale as a fashion, art and culture center. In 1955, he built the Kiva Craft Center on Fifth Avenue. According to Lillian Skaggs in a 2006 interview, “Lloyd was very strict. Everyone in the center had to offer their own original, handcrafted merchandise.”  Kiva also created Southwesternstyled uniforms for the staff of the Camelback Inn as well as the Phoenix Symphony.

Leona Caldwell, a 5th Avenue fashion artist

 As Scottsdale grew in importance as a center for good sports, it seemed only natural that we’d be home to a national sportswear company. Antigua had its headquarters and factory just off Via Linda for many years before moving to the West Valley.  Although Scottsdale’s reputation as a center for handmade wearable art and fashion waned in the 1980s and 1990s, it’s coming back strong. The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art frequently spotlights local fashion designers. Scottsdale Fashion Week began in 2006; the Sixth Annual Scottsdale Fashion Week is scheduled for Feb. 29-March 3, 2012 (www. scottsdalefashionweek.com).

Fashion and the local fashion industry has been good for Scottsdale. It’s helped keep us in the tourism limelight since the 1950s, and gained us positive publicity in national publications. Charity fashion shows have raised countless dollars for

local causes and organizations. The economic impact of the fashion industry has generated tax revenue for the city and created jobs.

Fashion entrepreneurs have also helped us stretch our dollars during this period of down economy by opening resale and consignment shops. Several local fashion publications keep us up to date on trends and fashion opportunities. Most of all, the fashion industry and knack for being fashionable has kept our city très chic, trendy and fun! 

NSCC Launches ‘Auctions in Action’

N

orth Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Charity Benefits Unlimited in launching “Auctions in Action.” The ongoing program will help raise additional funds for the chamber’s philanthropic outreach program, and has a short-term goal of $25,000 by year’s end.

How does it work?

Week–long silent auctions will be set up in an aesthetically pleasing manner in business locations of chamber members, with no cost, risk or liability to the business owner. CBU staff will be responsible for setup and provide materials such as tables, display stands, bid sheets and product. At the end of the auction, a CBU representative will remove everything related to the auction and contact the winning bidders.

A detailed accounting of each auction will be provided to the chamber along with the proceeds.

Chamber members can get involved by contacting the CBU office directly at 480-483-0525, or by calling Kevin Hite, director of marketing, at 615-319-0587.

How does “Auctions in Action” help chamber members? The goal is to not only raise money for charity but to drive traffic to

participants' places of business. To that end, there will only be four or five auctions per week in noncompeting locations. All participating businesses each week will be promoted by the chamber and CBU through email blasts and social media such as Twitter and Facebook. To add a bit of excitement, the top-grossing business owner will win a trip for two to New Orleans if the yearend goal of $25,000 is met.

Green & Growing Pastures: Clinical Cannabis Certification

By Kimberly Hundley

T

hose hunting for a niche in Arizona’s growing medical marijuana industry often refer to it as the entrepreneurial Wild Wild West.

Former Scottsdale law office manager Colby Ayres wholeheartedly agrees with the characterization, but he’s found a business model relatively outside the melee of shifting rules and regulations: Cannabis Certifications Centers, an upscale doctor office specializing in Arizona medical marijuana certifications.

Cannabis Certification Centers, which Ayres recently launched on 78th Way near Hayden Road, doesn’t sell or provide marijuana to patients, nor is there weed anywhere on the premises. Rather, patients hoping to qualify for a card make an appointment with the doctor on staff, who reviews their medical records, performs a brief physical and completes the certification form.

38 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

“One thing I’ve noticed about this industry is you really have to educate people,” says Ayres, director of the centers. “We get a lot of people calling and asking ‘How do I get my card?’ And I say, ‘Well, do you have a medical condition?’ We don’t do walk-ins anymore—most [certification] places do—because a lot of people come in saying they have anxiety or depression, and that’s not a qualifying medical condition in this state.”

Now Ayres prefers that patients visit the centers’ website first to check the list of conditions approved by the Arizona Department of Health Services, then call to arrange the submission of their medical records. Cost for an appointment is $150, but the fee is waived if the patient is refused certification.

“One thing we do which is different, we help our parents complete and submit

the state’s online application for medical marijuana,” says Ayres, who describes the health-services website as difficult to navigate and requiring the uploading of scanned documents. “We submit it right here ... Usually within four business days, patients get a card in the mail.”

Though any doctor who is licensed in the state could do medical marijuana certifications from their own offices, many prefer not to. “Most doctors are scared to do it,” Ayres says. “They’re afraid of the state or federal government coming after them. They don’t know what it all entails, and they’re busy with their own ongoing practice.”

One of the two doctors working initially with Cannabis Certification Centers dropped out after reading recent media coverage on doctors’ potential legal liability, says Ayres. The doctor now on staff is a

North Scottsdale naturopath also has his own offices, and he prefers his name not be used in the centers’ marketing material.

Ayres’ services include consulting with doctor practices interested in providing clinical cannabis certifications, a financially attractive expansion since it is a cash-based operation, not covered by insurance.

“Another route is doctors who don’t want their practice associated with medical marijuana, can come to a place such as this one,” Ayres says. “We’re also offering franchise opportunities so they can start the centers in their towns.”

Because doctors are familiar with the medical histories of their current patients, they’re well-positioned to know who would legitimately qualify also, Ayres says. “We get a lot of phone calls from people saying ‘My doctor keeps prescribing me pain pills, but I want to try something natural,” he adds.

By law, Arizona doctors certifying patients must check the state’s controlled substance database to make sure the candidate isn’t abusing the system by getting drug prescriptions from numerous doctors.

Once a patient is certified for a card—and about 13,000 Arizonans are so far—they’re on their own when it comes to legally finding marijuana. Because the state placed a hold

on dispensaries, which were supposed to provide most of the structure and regulation of the industry, patients don’t know where to go: they must cultivate their own plants, or find a registered “caregiver” allowed to grow marijuana for up to five patients.

“By law, we can’t tell them exactly where to go, just like a doctor can’t tell a patient which pharmacy to use,” Ayres says. “I recommend a few companies that have a decent reputation for helping caregivers and patients find each other.”

The Catch 22 is just another “gray area” in the evolving industry. “It’s the Wild Wild West, with patients and caregivers out there on their own, with nobody watching them, and the laws keep changing,” Ayres says.

“That’s why we are very, very conservative. We just don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Ayres is banking on Scottsdale-area applicants being drawn to the sleek and low-key offices Cannabis Certification Centers shares with Runway 21 Studios in a building adjacent to a hangar at Scottsdale Airport. A lot of certification locales are “in the back of a Circle K—not too fancy,” he says.

Finding a landlord who is okay with the concept of “clinical cannabis,” let alone

Colby Ayres, director of Cannabis Certification Centers, offers consulting services to doctor offices and franchise opportunities. related signage is one of the hurdles that will face franchisees, but Ayres is confident the stigma will fade with time.

“I wanted to get into an industry where we help people, and this is the ground floor,” he says. “It’s a new and exciting industry, and so far, it’s good.”  More: Cannabis Certification Centers; 602-5773017; www.ClinicalCertificationCenters.com

Technology Shortens Hospital Stays

By Jo-an Holstein

F

irst there was the shock of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Then Charles Lafferty’s “electrical engineer mentality” kicked in.

The 54-year-old Mesa resident investigated his treatment options thoroughly before undergoing robotic surgery at Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak Hospital.

The procedure required only a few small incisions and overnight hospital stay.

Back at work after a few weeks, Lafferty expects to recuperate fully with minimal side effects.

“There was less recovery time with the robotic surgery than traditional surgery and the cure rates are the same,” he said. “Plus I didn’t have to be hospitalized for three to five days.”

Minimally invasive approach maximizes patient benefits

Lafferty’s prostatectomy (prostate removal) was performed by urologist Farshid Sadeghi, M.D., using the daVinci surgical robot.

Scottsdale Healthcare has three of the robots as part of its Robotics Institute, which offers advanced technology and experienced surgeons at its Thompson Peak Hospital, Shea Medical Center and Osborn Medical Center.

Used for urological, gynecological, gynecological oncology, colorectal and general surgeries, the daVinci is operated by a trained surgeon who sits at a console near the patient. Viewing a high-definition image of the surgical area, the surgeon controls miniature instruments inserted into the patient through small incisions.

Compared to traditional open surgery, this can mean less scarring, pain and complications, as well as shorter hospital stays and recovery time, according to Andrew Kassir, M.D., who uses the daVinci at Thompson Peak Hospital to perform colorectal surgeries.

In the case of prostatectomy, Dr. Sadeghi said robotic surgery patients have only a few “key-hole” sized incisions, rather than a much larger incision needed for open surgery, and report “very little discomfort” while recovering at home. They also have excellent outcomes in terms of potency and continence, which Dr. Sadeghi attributes to the precise maneuverability of the robotic

instruments and excellent visibility while operating.

Scottsdale Healthcare was first in Arizona to acquire the daVinci robot 2001, giving it the most experience with the minimally invasive technology. In fact, Dr. Kassir performed the state’s first daVinci surgery for removal of a colon section at Scottsdale Healthcare, as well as the nation’s first-known Scottsdale Healthcare urologist Bernard Gburek, M.D., combined kidney and performed Arizona’s first-ever daVinci robot-assisted colon daVinci surgery. prostatectomy.

Other treatments with a technological edge

In addition to daVinci robots, Scottsdale Healthcare’s Robotics Institute features the MAKOplasty® partial knee replacement system at Thompson Peak Hospital. With this technology, a robotic arm is used to resurface damaged areas of the knee and precisely place an implant.

“Healthy bone, ligaments and tissue are preserved, which can mean a more natural-feeling knee post-operatively,” said orthopedic surgeon Stefan Tarlow, M.D., adding that MAKOplasty also can mean a smaller incision, less scarring and shorter hospital stay.

According to him, Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak Hospital is one of only 74 locations worldwide to offer MAKOplasty®.

A message for other men

Not surprisingly, Lafferty is “very relieved and thankful.”

He mentions Dr. Sadeghi’s seven years of experience in performing robotic surgery at Scottsdale Healthcare, as well as the hospital’s modernness and “very attentive” nurses. (Scottsdale Healthcare is Arizona’s first and only multihospital system to earn Magnet recognition, the nationally acknowledged top honor for nursing care.)

And you can bet he’s grateful that his cancer was caught early by a blood test taken during a regular checkup. “lt was the best circumstances for a bad situation but cancer is still life-changing news,” said Lafferty, who now tells every man he knows that they need to be screened for prostate cancer.

“It probably saved my life,” he said.  October 2011 Scottsdale Airpark News | 41

Control Your Fate (The Small Things Count)

S

ome days seem like they were made for owning stocks. And for the past two years or so, we were lucky enough to get quite a few of those days.

These days aren’t those days.

With the recent sell off in stocks, investment managers seem reluctant to make any big bets on the market. Every strong “up” day seems to be met with equally

By Gavin Tolan, determined selling.

Williams Financial Spectators, the market participants Group who’ve shifted out of risk to protect their capital, are enjoying the battle between a troubled Europe vs. a tag team of U.S. economic growth forecasts and current equity valuations. It’s a heated matchup with 100-plus point swings on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, seemingly daily. There’s no doubt that investors have the 2008 global markets meltdown on their mind.

With such uncertainty in the financial markets and an environment screaming for reduced risk exposure, now is a perfect time to go see your investment professional for a meeting of the minds.

Everyone knows the phrase “nothing good comes easy.”

A comfortable retirement is another thing that doesn’t come easy. Think of the investor who was about to retire in fall of 2007 and was full invested in stocks because the market was running hot. By the time most investors wanted out, it was too late to take control. There’s no guarantee that the stock market will be at a high when you decide to take your money.

42 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

Sounds ‘Crazy’ but ...

One way to control your retirement fate is to make a plan. I know it sounds crazy, sounds like work. But don’t let a little time and energy get in the way of making a plan. Here are four items to cover when you visit your advisor.

1.

Review titling, current beneficiaries, and other account information. This would include IRAs, 401(k)s, annuities, trust accounts, etc. Be sure your professional has current phone numbers, addresses, and email information so you can be contacted easily. It would also be important to have the ability to watch your accounts online. Typically, account statements go out quarterly unless there are recent changes.

We live in a fast world and you should have access to monitor your accounts on your timetable.

2.

Be sure you have a current living will, as well as medical and health care directives. Most investors that come to me lack these crucial documents. Do your loved ones a favor and make sure you get these completed. Organ donation, final arrangements and end–of–life medical decisions are best handled in a thoughtful manner prior to an unfortunate situation. Addressing these matters will give you a sense of relief, and won’t need to be revisited but every year or two.

3.

Ask for a detailed retirement income distribution plan.

This is a hypothetical plan that forecasts retirement income based on factors including current net worth, investable assets, portfolio allocation, expected future expenses, taxation,

account type, inheritances, health care cost expectations, and many other areas that will affect your bottom line.

4.

Be sure you have a flexible portfolio allocation. We all want to make money.

However, weather you’re young or old, rich or just starting to accumulate your fortune, if stocks are going down, they’re going down for everyone. Be sure your investment choices offer the opportunity to change your selection without getting stung with excessive fees.

Take action and get in to see your moneyman. It’s the small things that seem to count the most.

Market Update

Finally, gold looks to be taking a breather, but for how long is the question. I expect gold to work higher; it just might do it from lower levels.

The U.S. dollar should have a bit of a rally and then continue its long-term downtrend.

The current rally in the greenback is based on European concerns and should find its way back to the trend, which has been down.

I think oil trading around the $90 mark looks attractive from here.

For those that think the stock market selloff is over, keep this in mind: it’s better to be out of the market wishing you were in, than be in wishing you were out.

May the trend be with you! 

Missing Your Dental?

Elite plan offers affordable choices The Elite Dental Plan is a reduced-fee plan to make dental care affordable for individuals and businesses. The plan has enabled many people to maintain their dental health for themselves and families during tough economic times. Pamela Hansen, executive director of Scottsdale-based Elite Dental Plan, explains more about the company’s offerings.

How did the Elite Dental Plan come to be?

Hansen: In 2008, a local Scottsdale dentist, after seeing many of his patients lose their dental benefits, decided to do something that would help them. He formed the Elite Dental Plan. The plan has 12 dental providers located in the Phoenix Metro area, with three providers in Scottsdale. We are planning on adding five more dentists in the next few weeks so that the ease of availability of the Elite Dental Plan continues for our members.

What makes this dental plan attractive to small businesses?

Hansen: Businesses that do not now or never have before offered dental benefits to their employees can now provide opportunities for dental care to their workforce at a reasonable cost. The Elite Dental Plan is the perfect fit because it is affordable in today’s economic environment.

How does the Elite plan work?

Hansen: First and foremost it takes out all the hassle of paperwork. There are no deductibles, no yearly maximums, no pre-existing conditions. The enrollees have choices of dental offices; they are not required to go to just one office.

Most of all, the cost is very affordable.

What are the plan fees?

Hansen: The fee is $150 for the first family member and $50 for each immediate family member. There is an attractive discounted enrollment fee for businesses, depending on the number of employees. The plan offers employers the opportunity to develop a benefit that will help their employees maintain their dental health at a reasonable cost.

What have been the results so for?

Hansen: We have been very happy to see individuals and their families continue to seek quality dental during a time that has been economically challenging for many. It just makes sense to those who want to see that they and their families are taken care of.

And dental health is important. Poor dental care can be a major cause of missing work, and it’s directly related to heart disease and other major medical conditions. Our dentists are providing the same quality of dental care for members of the Elite Dental Plan as they do for their fee-for-service dental patients.

Does the plan cover any cosmetic procedures?

Hansen: Yes, the Elite Dental Plan covers cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers. In fact, all the dentists have had advanced training in cosmetic dentistry. We’re pleased that is a benefit of the plan, and many enrollees have taken advantage of the savings for these cosmetic procedures. 

New Generation to Shape City’s Future:

Scottsdale Leadership Announces Class 26

By Rachel Brockway, Scottsdale Leadership

C

lass 26 of Scottsdale Leadership is underway, and as this diverse group of class participants begins their journey to leave a lasting legacy on Scottsdale, they were asked “What does leadership mean to you and your community?” Here is a sample of their inspiring responses.

Kiem Ho

Sandy Adler

BraDen Love

“For any community to develop and thrive, it is dependent on individuals taking personal responsibility and being accountable for making a d i ff e r e n c e , ” s a i d Kiem Ho, Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. “Whether the community is made up of 265 or 2,000, their success depends on the strength of each individual’s engagement."

“The best leaders are not in charge, they want to lead to reach their goals, not be a king,” said Sandy Adler, Arizona Best Real Estate. “Strong leadership can provide the basis for tackling the difficult questions that face us as a community.”

“Leadership could be a formal leadership role like the mayor; it could be driving motivation; it could be having the courage to act; or it could be helping out your neighbor,” said Braden Love, S c o t t s d a l e I n s u r a n c e C o m p a n y.

“Leadership comes from many people and groups at different scales, and it has many forms.”

Nick Molinari “Leadership is the practice of getting your community committed to a particular course of action,” said Nick Molinari, Granite Reef Senior Center. “Strong leadership is the key to anything successful.”

While the answers are personal, they carry the same underlying theme that leadership means stepping up and making a difference in the community that we live in.

What are you doing to be a leader and make a difference in our community?

Scottsdale Leadership’s core program is an intensive 17-day program over nine months that consists of three primary elements: topic days, leadership skill modules and the implementation of a community service project. Class 26 participants have access to community decision makers and opportunities to discuss current community issues. They also will take tours of community facilities and connect with more than 850 Scottsdale Leadership alumni.  Rachel Brockway is the marketing and resource development manager for Scottsdale Leadership.

Aviation Fever Alert!

Scottsdale Air Fair to return Nov. 5-6

T

he Scottsdale Air Fair is back—after a decadelong hiatus—and due to land Nov. 5-6 at Scottsdale Airport with a packed itinerary of events, activities and displays.

About 20,000 attendees are expected to turn out for the city of Scottsdale’s weekend celebration featuring skydivers, rocket launches, flight simulators, top-notch (and top-gun) aircraft displays, hot air balloons, kid stuff, pilots in action, and a whole lot more.

Unlike past years, the 2011 Air Fair will be solely supported through sponsorships and ticket sales, costing the city nothing. PSM2 of Phoenix has been contracted with the city of Scottsdale to organize the signature event for a fee of $50,00 in advance, which will be paid via event proceeds. “We are thrilled to be managing one of the biggest and most entertaining aviation events in the Valley,” says PSM2 President Alicia Robertson. “Our goal is to make this an event presented by the community for the community by recruiting hundreds of volunteers to help.”

Already enrollment in the Scottsdale Air Fair Volunteer Team has been brisk, with strong interest from aviation enthusiasts and community supporters, said Lexie Pierce, public relations manager. “As soon as people heard the Air Fair was coming back to town, they started signing up,” she says. “When they go to sign up online, they can select a preference for what they would like to do.

They can choose from options like the Learning and KidsZone, Toys for Tots—gathering gifts that event goers bring in—helping with aircraft and performer needs, hospitality and event services.”

Volunteers are recommended to be 16 years of age or older; however exceptions can be made for those participating as part of an organized and supervised group. Volunteers are asked to commit at least two eight-hour shifts during the event. Benefits include two general admission tickets, an official volunteer T-Shirt, and admission to the hospitality tent.

Interest from sponsors and exhibitors has also been high. “There really is nothing else like [the air fair] in the immediate Valley; this is the most centrally located one. We’re getting new sponsors all the time,” Pierce says.

Entertainment highlights include four skydivers, who will jump during the opening ceremony, streaming the U.S., Arizona and Scottsdale flags during their descent to the airport grounds. (See example photos at http://arizonaskyhawks.com.)

Also about 60 rockets will be launched by the Civil Air Patrol at the end of each day before the balloon glow and parade.

Since the event takes place close to the holiday season, the Air Fair will be the 2011 campaign kickoff for the United States Marine Reserves Toys for Tots program. Event-goers will have the option to drop off new, unwrapped toys during the fair and receive a discount on general admission tickets.

Airport operations throughout the weekend will proceed mostly as usual, with the runway shut down temporarily during certain events, and the terminal closed, according to Pierce.

Advanced ticket sale opportunities include General Admission, VIP, Corporate Groups and individual pre-sale tickets. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are still available.

The event kicks off on Saturday at 9 a.m. with free children’s pancake breakfast and will conclude at 7 p.m. following a hot air balloon glow. Sunday hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will close with a parade of planes consecutively departing for the grand finale.

“The city of Scottsdale is known for organizing events that the whole family can enjoy,” said Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane. “With the return of the Scottsdale Air Fair, we will also be known for presenting a world–class air fair that families and aviation enthusiasts alike will look forward to all year long.” 

STUDIO MOVIE GRILL EXPANDING TO SCOTTSDALE

S

cottsdale movie lovers who like to nosh on more than popcorn and candy will have another tasty Airpark option in November.

Studio Movie Grill, the “original” first-run, in-theater dining concept, is set to open next month at 15515 N. Hayden Road, just south of Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., anchoring the newly enhanced Sonora Village.

Studio Movie Grill, or SMG, has spent more than 12 years refining the experience and proving itself with successful expansions in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta, according to the company.

Housed in a 40,000-square-foot, nine-screen, upscale theater, the new Studio Movie Grill Scottsdale will mirror many of the amenities of a home theater, with its spacious, comfortable leather recliners and cozy dining tables. Guests can unwind before and after their theater experience at a central bar that will serve premium liquors and specialty drinks. In addition, the large capacity theaters are available to handle corporate functions, private events, birthday parties, lunch meetings and other special events.

The theater boasts a menu of more than 100 food and beverage items, ranging from made-to-order loaded hamburgers to healthy salads, combined with an extensive bar offering draft beer, premium wines and spirits.

SMG provides a range of choices in movie tickets for its customers to enjoy 100 percent digitally projected first-run movies. General admission is $5, with options going up from there. While theater chains use RealD 3D equipment, Studio Movie Grill uses the Dolby 3D system and the latest in Dolby Digital technology to enhance the viewing experience.

This superior technology also allows the company to

52 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

expand the diversity of its onscreen offerings via the SMG With A Twist program. Alongside first-run movies, SMG offers alternate programming that includes 3D concerts, limitedrelease films, cost-effective programming, original series, documentaries, and screenings for families raising children with special needs. Outreach will play an important role in Studio Movie Grill Scottsdale’s plans to embrace its new community by offering unique programs and partnering with local nonprofits.

“Studio Movie Grill offers more, but we don’t charge first-class prices,” said founder and president, Brian Schultz. “We understand consumers today are looking for ways to get more out of their entertainment experiences but spend less money and time. Our online ticketing and reserved seating accommodates these hectic schedules and our in-theater dining gives patrons the opportunity to relax with food and a drink.”

Schultz strategically selected the Scottsdale area to serve as SMG’s newest location because the area demonstrated a high demand for first-run movies and had an appealing demographic for the concept.

Studio Movie Grill Scottsdale will be SMG’s eighth location. Six locations in Texas are Arlington, Dallas/ Royal, Lewisville, and Plano, as well as two locations in Houston. SMG Holcomb Bridge is located in Atlanta.

More expansion plans are underway. More: www. studiomoviegrill.com. 

Xona Resort to Get Multimillion–Dollar Renovation X

ona Resort Suites Scottsdale announces a comprehensive multimillion dollar renovation to its North Scottsdale 12-acre hotel property. Phase I is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter as improvements throughout the property include significant room upgrades as well as common area, amenity and restaurant enhancements. The hotel is planning a grand unveiling of their freshened look coupled with another significant new announcement in the fourth quarter.

“Since our hotel remains completely available to our guests throughout this renovation process, we are strategically planning and performing all aspects to ensure guest comfort and their overall experience,” says Xona Resort Suites Scottsdale General Manager Bruce Pittet. “This has been an open process with our guests as we’ve taken lengthy steps to ask their opinions and suggestions for areas to improve. The current renovations are a result of guest feedback and we are excited to show the progress.”

The hotel is investing in substantial in-room comforts and modern improvements. Highly visible elements like new carpeting, natural lighting, contemporary furniture and stainless steel kitchen appliances are all added to the main living spaces of the one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom suites. Softer touches including new kitchen small wares for cooking convenience, supple bedding, updated artwork and painted accent walls

increase the ambiance. Technologically, guests will notice significantly faster connection speeds as the hotel’s Wi-Fi system undergoes a sizeable upgrade. Property-wide, all flat-screen televisions are HD capable.

Most visible are upgrades in the common areas of the hotel including new fencing and modern lounge chairs which create a consistent, clean look at all four pools. Generating a soft desert outdoor environment are newly installed exterior lighting and landscape architecture. Directional and “way finder” signage will be added in the fall making it simple for guests to navigate the hotel grounds.

With a focus on increasing efficiency, the on-property restaurant Asada Desert Grille has a new kitchen with upgraded equipment and an effective layout that allows for a smooth flow and facilitates greater capacity for larger events. 

PRINCESS BREAKS GROUND ON NEW CONFERENCE CENTER Chris Cahill, president of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, is joined by team members and supporters, including representatives of the city of Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, for the September groundbreaking event.

F

airmont Scottsdale Princess has broken ground on a $20 million conference center, which will add more than 52,000 square feet of indoor meeting space anchored by the new Palomino Ballroom.

The new conference center, slated to open October 2012, brings the resort’s total eventspace square footage to 150,000, making it the largest meetings resort in the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts portfolio worldwide and better positioning the property to compete for a larger range of conferences and events locally and nationally.

Based on feedback from meeting planners, the resort recognized the need for more meeting space, larger breakout areas and more move-in/move-out time for production.

“This new development is a measure of our faith not only in the strength of the Scottsdale market, but also in the distinct appeal of our property, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess," said Laurence Geller, CEO, Strategic Hotels & Resorts Inc., owners of the hotel at 7575 East Princess Drive. "Our plans will further differentiate this terrific resort and the finished product will offer a welcome, and needed, addition to serve the evolving needs of today's meeting and event planners."

With a modern Southwest design inspired by the spirited Spanish horses that roamed the desert, the new event spaces will feature “nano” walls that open up to the outdoors for a refreshing open-air meeting or evening banquet.

All meeting rooms will be wired to offer the latest in technology capability, supporting the most advanced audiovisual presentations.

The contractor, Howard S. Wright Construction, estimates the project will create close to 350 jobs over the next year.

The conference center, designed by Kollin Altomare Architects of Long Beach, Calif., is part of a five-year, $75 million master renovation plan by the resort’s owner, Strategic Hotels & Resorts, since it acquired the Princess four years ago. The first $55 million of enhancements took place resort-wide, adding more modern decor to the guest rooms and lobby; new fire and water features throughout the resort, as well as the addition of Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, Stone Rose Lounge, and the reopening of La Hacienda with celebrity chef Richard Sandoval.

To promote the new conference center, groups who book 100 rooms or more on peak by Sept. 30, 2012, will receive the “Celebration Is On Us Package”: a one-hour, destination-themed reception with cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres (meeting must take place by December 2013). Groups that book between July 4 and Labor Day of 2013, 2014 or 2015 will receive a complimentary five-minute fireworks show. The offer is not valid on existing bookings.

Mixing Business, Family & Friends – A Recipe for Marketing Chaos

H

ello fellow Airpark Entrepreneurs. It’s almost Q4 and you still have time to make changes and close the year surpassing your revenue goals! Here’s some advice that will help you think about a business makeover.

I’ve been tangled in a successful family business for over 15 years, and I’ve seen

By Adriana Parsons, the good and the bad side of working Cranial Crush together. Luckily my husband has more than 25 years of family-owned business experience, so we know how to balance our roles and almost always avoid the chaos.

When you start a business, you own it and have control over every decision. Then your business grows, and you need help.

62 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

Often my clients bring in their husbands, wives, daughters, sons and friends to help grow their company.

It’s a great idea, you should trust your family and close friends—but are they interested in your business? Are they experts at helping in the departments you need help in?

Usually they are not. Yes, we can all learn sales, marketing, accounting, human resources, etc., but is your cousin who loves video games best suited to design your website?

Absolutely not.

In the last few years, I have identified one huge problem that can easily be solved by asking for help from professional consultants. Sometimes it just takes a simple reorganization or third-party perspective to put your business back on track.

Start-ups continue to act like start-ups and never grow up or mature their brand because they are afraid to admit that their son or wife or friend is not the right person for the job.

I’m also a salesperson in print.

I talk to about, oh, 30,000 Airpark customers every month.

I ’m an ad

How many prospective customers do you talk to a month?

The Airpark News is here! Where’s your ad?

As your business grows, you need to periodically evaluate your staff, software, office space, resources. Don’t let a friend or family relationship stop your business from growing in a certain area. As a business owner who has co-mingled family with business, chances are your family member/ employee is also feeling inadequate in his/ her position and is stuck in a rut and afraid to ask for help.

Or, I have seen the other extreme where family members are taking advantage of their position and working less while asking for more pay.

What does this have to do with websites and marketing? Everything. If your business is not functioning properly with the right decision makers and expertise in place, your prospects and customers will know it. These are extreme cases but they are right here in the Airpark.

I’ve helped companies that had 10 versions of their logo, three different websites without brand continuity, disagreement in pricing, crappy packaging and overall the companies were not working as a cohesive unit. Your customer needs to trust that your business is working smoothly and that you have your act together. Otherwise, they will shop elsewhere.

Don’t just start firing your family! Take a look at your leadership skills: you might be the problem; You might need to hire a CEO to manage you. But if that’s not the case and you have a good sense of leadership and business, take control of your brand.

It’s your money, isn’t it?

Evaluate your team, look at your weaknesses and strengths, try calling your phone system, check out your website on an iPad, Google it, see if you exist to the searching public. If you look at your brand through the eyes of a new prospect, you should immediately see what needs to be fixed.

And, if you realize your business needs help, make sure you get it.  Adriana Parsons is cofounder of Cranial Crush Consulting, offering expertise in marketing strategy for all businesses, from start-ups to public companies. Contact: 480-236-2462; Adriana@ cranialcrush.com.

An Exit Strategy for Business Owners

B

usiness owners have four options when it comes to exit planning.

They can sell their businesses to outsiders. They can sell their businesses to people inside of their companies. They can become passive owners. And they can liquidate their businesses.

Most outside sales occur with companies worth $10 million or more. A lot of

By Nate Sachs, businesses do not fall into this category.

Blueprints for Outside buyers are getting harder and Tomorrow harder to find, and outside sales are increasingly getting more difficult to finance. Often a business owner does not have people inside of his business who are capable or financially able to buy and take over his business. Liquidation is not an exit strategy that many business owners want to consider. Passive ownership is becoming more and more popular.

64 | Scottsdale Airpark News October 2011

Business owners are realizing they want to make a living as well as have a life. They no longer want to feel that the business owns them, but that they own the business. With our current economic environment, passive ownership looks like an attractive alternative. Many business owners have told me that, even if they could sell their businesses, once they paid the taxes and advisors, and invested the remaining proceeds conservatively, they’d be worse off.

And when you factor salaries, bonuses, 401(k) plan, health insurance, cars, vacations, etc., it becomes further evident that business owners are better off continuing to own and ensure steady and predictable cash flow.

Passive ownership allows business owners to keep making money by retaining ownership in their business as opposed to the notion that they would be better off if they sold the business and invested the money at 2 to 3 percent interest.

After selling a business they have spent many years building, business owners generally invest the proceeds conservatively

Rated #1 CaRtRidge RefilleR/RemanufaCtuReR by entRepReneuR magazine... again!

ReCyCle | Refill | Reuse Inkjet • Laserjet • Printer Cartridges Owners, Nancy & John because they cannot replace these proceeds if they lose them by investing aggressively.

This being said, keeping the business makes economic sense. They want to “own the cow and the milk.”

Keys for Success

For a passive ownership to be successful several things must be accomplished first. The business must continue to grow without the owner having to be involved in the day-to-day operations. If it does not grow, there will not enough cash to fund the owner ’s lifestyle and still pay key people to run the company. Positive cash flow is a must, enabling the owner to come and go as they please. Everything the owner currently does in the business must be systematized so others can do it.

The owners must delegate everything they are currently doing except the two or three things that they do uniquely well that drive profit to the company.

The key employees who are going to run the company in the owner ’s absence must begin to think like owners and more importantly they have to “be golden handcuffed” to the company. The owner must also begin to make a life for himself away from the company.

Passive ownership can be successfully accomplished. A business owner must prepare his business for a passive ownership exit for at least two to three years before it is going to actually happen. A blueprint should be created to assure that passive ownership can occur. If done properly a business owner can look at his business as just another investment arrow in the investment quiver. 

S

cottsdale Healthcare has joined with the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce to offer a currently exclusive health care benefit for employees of chamber member companies. The PROMPT CARE program allows chamber members to provide their uninsured employees as well as those with medical insurance with a limited-scope healthcare service, said Scottsdale Chamber President and CEO Rick Kidder.

The program has no up-front costs for any member business. Employees of enrolled chamber member companies will have access to limited care

for minor illnesses or injuries, and can be seen during normal Occupational Health Clinic business hours on a walk-in basis.

For those employees who are not insured, the cost is $35 for the assessment and treatment of their minor ailments.

In the case of insured individuals, their insurance will be processed as normal with the appropriate co-pay.

PROMPT CARE was initially available only for Scottsdale Healthcare employees, explained Jayme Ambrose, director of Corporate and Community Health for Scottsdale Healthcare. The program may be expanded in the future to include city employees as well. ”All business, large or small, worry about health care costs and their most important asset—their workforce,” said Kidder. “This exciting partnership helps to address a real need for our member companies.”

Scottsdale Chamber member companies interested in enrolling in the service can register at www.scottsdalechamber. com. Once registration is complete, the Scottsdale Area Chamber will send the appropriate contact a Referral Form.

When an employee needs the service, the employer completes the PROMPT CARE referral form on behalf of the employee, and the employee in need will bring the form to one of the three Occupational Health Clinics.

PROMPT CARE is intended for those with acute, minor illnesses or injuries, and does not cover serious emergencies. Typical complaints that may be seen under PROMPT CARE include minor respiratory illnesses, minor burns or rashes, sprains and strains, mild gastrointestinal ills, pink eye, vaccinations and blood pressure monitoring.

{ advice from weiss { October Business Horoscope

Complete HR outsouRCing seRviCes:

By Weiss Kelly Whether you’re a small-business owner or have other career aspirations, insights into how the planets influence your work month can help you plan for maximum performance and project success.

ARIES ( 3/20-4/20) It is imperative that you become a team player this month. Having the help and interaction with other associations, both professionally and socially, will have many work-related advantages. Get away from yourself and participate in events and functions. Emphasis is on ”them” not you.

TAURUS (4/21-5/21) Expect to put in some extra private time as the month unfolds (2nd-10th). The Full Moon on the 12th should bring some encouraging work-related news or an approval. Any unfinished business keeps you office bound the first two weeks.

GEMINI (5/22-6/21) October’s developments have the potential to provide some solid career gains, providing you are clear about your priorities. Patterns can make up for September’s lost time and elusive commitments. Deal realistically with minor job problems. October is really about communicating and getting in touch.

LIBRA (9/23-10/22) Your most progressive and self-rewarding month has arrived, providing you complete a long-term task. Stay focused, on new business as it is still in the development stage. You excel in marketing, public relations and social acceptance.

SCORPIO (10/23-11/21) Face your own fears as you start off the month. Get back in touch with former clients or job experiences.

Expect a short period of isolation (working on your own). Some obligations or work issues suggest you do investigation on what’s available in your given field. You’ll get some breaks later this month.

SAGITTARIUS (11/22-12/21) Where’s the road to freedom and success in October?

It’s through your personal and professional friends. Allow yourself to reassess some of your goals; some may be no longer practical, and new ones can arise mid month. This quarter can be a cycle of accomplishment.

CANCER (6/22-7/22) Get prepared for a challenging and busy three weeks ahead.

Your work scene will force you to make those necessary problem solving changes by the 13th. In spite of some frustrations, the month is progressive and encouraging by the third week or so. That reconnecting with colleagues will bring some work your way.

CAPRICORN (12/22-1/19) Most days this month will be fun filled and work filled. A combination of career breaks and restrictions is just the mix you will be encountering. You may be in a position to start from scratch.

Consider it a necessity to combine work with the demand of meetings, functions, events, etc.

LEO (7/23-8/22) Expect some competition this month, but you’re up to it. Mars in your sign gives you the motivation and determination to confront any situation or presentation. An active two work weeks is in store. A decision involving yourself or another requires some compromising. Be sure to fit in some downtime or get involved with local business promos.

AQUARIUS (1/20-2/18 ) You are right where you should be now, intermingling your associations, networking and social skills. It’s contacts that establish new work relationships. You’ve been out of reach (June–September) and it’s time to get back and reconnect. Cooperation is needed as some control issues crop up in the work arena the last week.

VIRGO (8/23-9/22) The realities of your financial status can be addressed and moderate adjustments can be made. Expect new developments and work opportunities to happen this last quarter. Reassess your priorities. Market yourself socially.

PISCES (2/19-3/20) Moderation is your financial mantra. It could be a quiet month with an emphasis on your creativity. Focus on a particular project or goal and you will see the fruits of your efforts by the second week.

October favors meetings or presentations.
