Three former Churchill County High School students — Addison Sandberg, Makayla Matheson, and Katelen Helton — graduated in May 2025 after completing a Work-Based Learning program funded through Nevada Works, with support from the Governor’s Office. The program was coordinated at the high school by Dr. Sue Segura.

The goal of the program is to prepare students for careers as medical assistants and help address the growing demand for health care professionals in northern Nevada.

Sandberg, Matheson, and Helton earned certificates in phlebotomy, EKG technology, and medical assisting. According to program data, 100% of students who completed the program secured job placements in the health care field.

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
