City of Fallon Councilwoman Kelly Frost will present “Fallon City Government.” Frost will provide an overview of the City of Fallon and discuss Fallon’s government structure and activities, as well as council meetings.

Marie Nygren, WNC’s Fallon Art Gallery coordinator, and teacher, writer, and photographer, will present “Wisdom Along the Way.” Nygren, who minored in psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, will focus on human behavior. Parents, teachers, and people in leadership positions are encouraged to attend. Learn to communicate better and manage people effectively.

Tracy Runnels, a Community Health Worker Program assistant with the Churchill Community Coalition, will present “CONNECT with Health Literacy: Healthy Habit Building.” This free presentation will help attendees understand what it means to be healthy and learn to build healthy habits and routines through habit tracking, journaling and meal planning.

C Comment author: Carl C. HagenComment text: What are MFNs and PBMs ?? ............................ From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
