Posted on: 2009-07-17
You and your neighbors will want to be reading the Sierra Vista One Book One Community 2009 selection, ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE by Barbara Kingsolver. Learn a new word, 'locavore' as Kingsolver chronicles her family's year of producing, bartering for, or buying all of their food from local sources.
Local activities will conclude during the week of October 26-30 with book discussions, food preparation and tasting sessions, a community forum, and a photo contest.
One Book One Community is a national movement which encourages residents of a single community to read and celebrate the same book during each year. The Sierra Vista Diversity Council is the local sponsor of the committee which chooses a book and organizes the events.

| First Medical Team Award to be Presented to Arizona Physician and Physician Assistant
Posted on: 2010-03-18
The Arizona State Association of Physician Assistants (ASAPA) is honored to confer the first annual Physician/PA Partnership Award to Dr. Marc Kaplan, DO and Mr. Thomas A Harris, PA-C. This award honors the physician-physician assistant (PA) team that best exemplifies health care collaboration in treating patients. The PA and the physician as a team, provide greater medical service to their patients and their community than either professional could alone. The award will be presented at the ASAPA Awards Luncheon on Friday, March 26, 2010 at noon at the Fort McDowell Radisson and Convention Center.
The Kaplan-Harris team practice in Sierra Vista is located near the Mexican border in the southeast corner of Arizona, approximately 80 miles from Tucson. It is a small rural community with a population just over 43,000.
It is into this small rural community that Mr. Harris moved, beginning what would become a 13 year partnership. “Dr. Kaplan and Mr. Harris in my opinion, as a team, deserve this award,” notes Chris Peltonen, office manager at the Cochise Health Alliance Medical Group. “They have worked together for almost 13 years and truly exemplify the relationship of trust, collegiality and mutual respect. They depend on each other to provide quality care to their patients. As a team they promote exceptional patient care and quality of a fair and honest work place for all.”
Dr. Kaplan is a Phoenix native. After graduation from Arizona State University, he attended Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri. He graduated from medical school in 1981 and moved back to Arizona where he became a General Medical Officer and Flight Surgeon for the U.S. Army at Fort Huachuca outside of Sierra Vista. He began the Cochise Health Alliance Medical Group in Sierra Vista, a family practice group that provides care to the military stationed at Fort Huachuca and the Sierra Vista community.
Mr. Harris is a graduate of King’s College Physician Assistant Program in Wilkes-Barre, Penn. Prior to attending PA school, Harris served in the U.S. Navy as a medical corpsman and was stationed at the Naval Undersea Medical Institute. Shortly after graduation, he responded to an employment ad placed by Dr. Kaplan and moved, along with his family and parents, from Pennsylvania to Sierra Vista.
The Arizona State Association of Physician Assistants is pleased to confer this award on Dr. Marc Kaplan and Mr. Thomas Harris. We invite the members of the media to join us to mark this award.
