Here. Since 1970.

In the late 1960s, President Lyndon B. Johnson started a big campaign to fight poverty, and that's when people started thinking about creating health centers in neighborhoods. In Tucson, advocates on the west and south sides were working hard to build up their communities and get basic services, like healthcare.

Around the same time, the person in charge of the new College of Medicine at the University of Arizona, Dr. Merlin DuVal, thought it would be good for young medical students to learn in a neighborhood health center. He also saw that it would help people who didn't have access to good healthcare. Dr. Herb Abrams, who had already helped set up a center in Chicago, joined in to help.

With a building donated by Pima County, $50,000 for fixing it up, and some money from the government, the first El Rio neighborhood health center opened in October 1970. They had a small team of health workers who gave basic medical and dental care. Now, El Rio Health is one of the biggest and most respected health centers in the whole country.

At El Rio, their priority is providing comprehensive, affordable and compassionate healthcare for you and your family. They provide care to all community members, regardless of a patient's financial status.

John, a successful local businessman, thought he had time and didn't make an estate plan. Sadly, he was in a car accident and since he didn't have a plan, his children couldn't make medical decisions for him, and he passed shortly thereafter. That wasn't the only problem: his family had disputes over their home, and without clear leadership, John's business began to fail. The legal process cost a lot, strained relationships, and left the family in chaos. John's lack of planning showed how important it is to prepare for the unexpected and protect your loved ones.

10 Reasons for Estate Planning:

  1. Asset Distribution: It ensures your assets go to the right people or organizations according to your wishes.
  2. Protection of Loved Ones: You can provide for your family's financial well-being and appoint guardians for minors.
  3. Tax Minimization: Proper planning can reduce estate and transfer taxes, saving your beneficiaries money.
  4. Avoiding Probate: Bypassing probate speeds up the distribution of assets and keeps it private.
  5. Healthcare and End-of-Life Decisions: Documents like a healthcare proxy and living will allow you to specify medical decisions.
  6. Business Continuity: It ensures a smooth transition for your business.
  7. Charitable Giving: You can support causes you care about.
  8. Protection Against Legal Challenges: A well-drafted plan reduces the likelihood of disputes.
  9. Peace of Mind: Your wishes will be carried out, and your loved ones will be taken care of.
  10. Flexibility: Plans can be adjusted as your life changes.

In short, estate planning provides clarity, minimizes taxes, protects your loved ones, and ensures your legacy endures as you desire. RJP Estate Planning can help you with this important process, giving you peace of mind.

With the unwavering support of partners Russ Moore and Jennifer Treusch, local culinary virtuoso Richard Fifer introduces Agave House to his ever-expanding repertoire. After more than five triumphant years at the helm of Gentle Ben's, a nearby gastronomic institution that he still commands, Fifer's journey began as a busser in 2009 at this iconic brewpub on University Boulevard—an establishment where his roots in Tucson and his service in the Marine Corps converged.

Leading Agave House's symphony is Jonah Gomes, a culinary virtuoso with almost 25 years of experience spanning Arizona to Alaska. His gastronomic prowess was honed in esteemed locales like Casino Del Sol, JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort, and Del Lago Golf Club. Agave House's menu is a testament to locally sourced ingredients, featuring dishes from tacos to ceviches, each a tribute to the region's essence.

The bar is a sanctuary of spirits, boasting over 100 agave-based elixirs, themed flights, and signature cocktails—a gallery of narratives in every sip. Alongside these, a curated selection of beers and wines await. Yet, Agave House is not just a haven for epicurean delights, but an enchanting portal. The ambiance melds contemporary chic with rustic nostalgia, painting a vivid Mexican tableau that elevates every visit into an ethereal sojourn.

In a triumphant saga of transformation, Main Gate Square welcomed the arrival of Bacio Italiano. Emerging from the embers of the past, the former Red's Smokehouse & Tap Room now stands as an epicurean haven. Step within Bacio's realm, and you're transported into an artful dreamscape. Local artists' modern creations, ranging from mounted canvases to intricate metal doodles, adorn the walls. Cascades of natural light pour in through western windows and garage doors, illuminating the centerpiece: a majestic pizza oven. Bacio's co-owner, Andrew Avella, hailing from Staten Island and an alumnus of the University of Arizona, has woven his culinary journey into this gastronomic tapestry. His academic years saw him navigating the Italian restaurant scene of Tucson.

Bacio's menu is a symphony of Italian flavors, offering a range of appetizers, salads, pizzas, calzones, pastas, plates, sandwiches, and desserts. The cuisine strikes a harmonious balance between Italian American comforts and the authenticity of traditional Italian fare. However, the true star is Bacio's pizza. An alchemical creation, it marries Neapolitan and New York styles, resulting in a crispy symphony. Andrew Avella explains, "Our hybrid crust, a blend of high-gluten all-purpose flour and a slightly higher cooking temperature, achieves a crispy base with a subtle char around the edges." The pizza oven, a guardian of precision, maintains a steady 600 degrees to craft this culinary masterpiece.

Bacio's attention to detail extends to ingredients, with a 100% whole milk cheese proudly sharing its name with the restaurant itself. Andrew Avella and his team uphold quality with an approachable touch, a testament to their culinary ethos.

Since its inception in 1971, a stalwart icon known as Gentle Ben's Brewery has graced the block. Its resounding presence, however, wasn't marked solely by the passage of years but by the culmination of awards—a brewing virtuoso since 1991. Its origins are interwoven with the very fabric of history; the first incarnation nestled beneath what now stands as the Marriott hotel's grand lobby. A metamorphosis from its initial 1908 guise as a private haven for the Hamilton Family unfolded across the epochs, bearing witness to the roles of a University President's abode, a boarding house, and a haven for diverse fraternities.

Gentle Ben's, a moniker that resonates with a profound tale, was birthed through the crucible of a contest. Fate found its vessel in a university professor who saw a reflection of Dan Haggerty, the famed figure from the television saga "Grizzly Adams," in the manager's visage. The eponymous co-star, a bear named Gentle Ben, emerged from the same saga—a narrative rooted in the wanderings of a man through the wilderness of Northern California in the 1920s and 30s. Two bears, Benjamin Franklin and Martha Washington, shared his story. Martha, by the standards of her kind, was deemed fierce and bound by chains to a stake. Yet, a gentler spirit roamed unrestricted—an embodiment of its name, Gentle Ben.

Starting in 1932, Bashas' Family of Stores was founded by Brothers Ike and Eddie Basha, Sr. as a family-owned and -operated grocer with the goal of providing exceptional service, quality products at competitive prices, and exceeding customer expectations.
