EMT Class Returning to WNC Fallon Campus
Submitted courtesy WNC public relations -- Thanks to the efforts and contributions by the Rotary Club of Fallon and Banner Churchill Community Hospital, Western Nevada College will resume offering an EMT class to its rural counties starting with the Fall 2019 semester. This program meets the needs of WNC’s growing community and the future demand for even more qualified emergency personnel. The Emergency Medical Technician Training (EMS 108) course begins Aug. 26 and will meet Monday and Wednesday from 5 to 8:45 p.m. the first week of class and on Wednesdays for the remainder of the semester. EMS 108 is a hybrid class where coursework will be completed online with practicums each Wednesday. WNC’s collaboration with Rotary President and Chief Deputy District Attorney Lane Mills, Churchill County Justice of the Peace Ben Trotter, Rotary Treasurer Joe Lane, Banner Churchill Community Hospital EMS Shift Supervisor Cass Fox, Banner Churchill Community Hospital EMS Chief Steve Towne, Banner Churchill Community Hospital CEO Rob Carnahan and WNC Nursing Director Judith Cordia made this course possible. Rotary and WNC will honor the success of the Fall 2019 EMS 108 students completing the course, their EMS instructors and local first responders with a celebration in December. Register as soon as possible to ensure a seat in this class. For more information, phone 775-423-7565. New students can get started by applying for admission at www.wnc.edu/starthere/.     Never miss the local news -- read more on The Fallon Post home page.

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
