May 1, 2024- ArchWell Health announced its partnership with Helping Hands of Vegas Valley (HHOVV) to address lifestyle barriers to better health for seniors in Las Vegas. Through this collaborative partnership, ArchWell Health will provide 300 seniors in need with new air filters that will be installed in their homes by HHOVV’s Minor Home Repair program. ArchWell Health will also sponsor lunches throughout the year, hosted by HHOVV.
Studies indicate that multiple factors influence health outcomes for seniors, including clean air, safe housing, transportation and access to good nutrition. In the case of older adults, these social determinants of health can directly impact their longevity, mobility and independence.
Many seniors throughout the valley struggle to keep their homes running efficiently with clean air systems due to the desert environment or pets in the home. In addition to saving costs that come with a properly running air conditioner, quality air filters help alleviate irritants such as germs and dust that can cause respiratory health issues and allergies.
