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 />
