Now You Can Travel & Stay Healthy!<br />

By: Crystal Merryman-Sarbacker / Out & About<br />

If you’re beginning to feel confident enough<br />

to start planning a real vacation, your first<br />

destination should be a<br />

visit to E7 Medicine. For<br />

several years, this unique medical center in Las<br />

<strong>Vegas</strong>, (located at 500 East Windmill Lane)<br />

has featured a specialty department staffed<br />

by physicians and medical experts who are<br />

dedicated to maintaining your health while<br />

you are out of town, out of state, and even out<br />

of the country.<br />

Certainly, the appearance of Covid19 during the past months has<br />

made everyone more concerned about how quickly diseases can<br />

spread; not only from place-to-place, but also from country to country.<br />

In many ways, though, this is what makes the staff at E7 Medicine truly<br />

unique.<br />

Every day these specialists focus on protecting modern travelers from<br />

the many epidemics and pandemics, which may spread worldwide.<br />

I first heard of this independent medical center from a Sun City<br />

resident who is one of my most adventurous clients. Over several years<br />

she has become a dear friend and has traveled solo on several exciting<br />

Collette vacations.<br />

I booked these tours for her in the US, and also in Europe, Africa,<br />

Upon entering the 30-acre Clark County<br />

Museum, located on Boulder Highway in<br />

Henderson, Clark County’s past comes alive. The<br />

museum is a recreated typical small-town<br />

America and characterizes Las <strong>Vegas</strong>, Boulder<br />

City and Henderson’s early days.<br />

The museum’s Heritage Street, lined<br />

with mature trees with gracious overhang<br />

and lined with locally acquired buildings,<br />

is a classic plucked from time. Some of the<br />

reconstructed town appears to have weathered<br />

hard times. But there is a sense of pride evident<br />

in the fresh paint on the old dwellings.<br />

Displayed are original buildings and<br />

houses from Clark County’s past, the construction of Hoover Dam and<br />

Henderson’s industrial contribution to the World War II effort which<br />

brought many families to the area.<br />

There is the 1931 Boulder City train depot. As restored, it reminds<br />

visitors of when trains were a popular mode of cross-country travel,<br />

train whistles marked time in small towns and train depots were all<br />

painted the same cream yellow.<br />

Sunlight streams through the windows of the Candlelight Wedding<br />

Chapel, making it glow and cast reflections on the hard wooden<br />

40<br />

China, and India. Before any departure, we would always<br />

meet to review her upcoming itinerary.<br />

Because my clients are all seniors like me, I encourage them to<br />

check with their doctors to be sure their health is appropriate for any<br />

travel they might be considering. But my friend surpassed<br />

my recommendations when she discovered what was<br />

previously called the Vaccine Center, and now E7<br />

Medicine.<br />

This medical group has a department which<br />

actually specializes in preparing individuals for<br />

safe travel to countless destinations in the US<br />

and abroad. My friend’s preparations for any<br />

vacation or itinerary typically include an appointment with a staff<br />

member who thoroughly reviews her upcoming travel plans.<br />

And, then utilizing the latest news and international health alerts,<br />

medical professionals not only give her personal advice...they actually<br />

provide appropriate instructions, prescriptions, medications, and even<br />

injections if they are needed. The result: she can relax, and travel worry<br />

free.<br />

And you can too. For more information call E7 Medicine at 702/800-<br />

Clark County Museum A Capsule of Local History<br />

<strong>May</strong> <strong>2021</strong><br />

pews. The Candlelight Wedding Chapel opened in 1966 on Las <strong>Vegas</strong><br />

Boulevard.<br />

It was relocated to the Clark County Museum and restored there<br />

in 2009. Interestingly, John and I renewed our wedding vows there in<br />

celebration of our 40 th anniversary when the<br />

chapel was still located on the Strip.<br />

If you watch the History Channel’s reality<br />

show, Pawn Stars, you have seen the Clark<br />

County Museum’s administrator Mark Hall-<br />

Patton who is nicknamed the “Beard of<br />

Knowledge” for both his knowledge of history<br />

and his naturally gray beard. Hall-Patton has<br />

an occasional role on Pawn Stars, but this<br />

year he is retiring from the museum.<br />

Thankfully, he will continue with Pawn<br />

Stars appearances. Due to Hall-Patton’s<br />

widely viewed TV appearances, he is America’s most recognized public<br />

museum spokesperson.<br />

Fees to enter the museum are reasonably priced at just one dollar<br />

for a senior admission, but don’t come with a camera. Personal and<br />

commercial photos are not allowed.<br />

Adventure Diva. Her “Must See” travel journeys continue - always<br />

with enthusiasm.
