It looks pretty happy from that view, but the best way to check health is to get a closer picture of the aerial roots and leaf texture

I agree- a closer look at the leaves and roots is really the only way to determine the ‘health’ of an orchid. Because phalaenopsis are so hybridized to prioritize blooms, some have genetics that will bloom themselves sick- literally. They can be struggling and dehydrated and still try to push out more flower spikes. But (at least from this distance) your leaves look pretty good.
