United Way Community Survey

United Way Community Survey
United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra (UWNNS) launches the 2019 Community Listening Process and invites communities across Northern Nevada to participate in an online Community Survey (www.uwwnns.org/survey) and in local Community Conversations. Both activities provide community members the opportunity to share what they believe are the important issues facing their community. The courtesy of a RSVP is appreciated for the Community Conversation, so we can plan accordingly. RSVP at www.uwnns.org/community. WHEN & WHERE:  Community Conversations are: 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at the Old Post Office 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at the Old Post Office 90 N. Maine Street in Fallon, Nevada Community Survey (www.uwnns.org/survey) is ongoing through May. United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra is a non-profit organization, that serves all 13 counties in Northern Nevada, and whose mission is to link the community’s will and resources to improve lives. United Way seeks input from the community to identify what are critical community issues that could be addressed. Information gathered helps to guide the work of the organization. Information gathered during the 2014 survey and conversations led to identifying early childhood literacy as an issue to address. In addition, this is an opportunity to meet the new CEO/President and the new Community Impact Director. For questions, contact Kelly Stevens, Community Impact Director at (775) 333-8287.

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 EDITOR
