Cancer Screening Isn’t Difficult – Don’t Put it Off
Cancer Screening Isn’t Difficult – Don’t Put it Off
Learning that a friend in her 40s had colon cancer was devastating. Despite bravely fighting and even celebrating being cancer-free, the disease came back and took her far too soon—leaving behind her husband and two young sons. Her story reinforced for me just how ruthless colon cancer can be and why early detection matters. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Nevada, yet it’s highly treatable when caught early. Unfortunately, over 31% of adults over 45 are behind on recommended screenings. New, less invasive options like the FDA-approved Shield blood test make it easier than ever to stay on track. I encourage everyone to prioritize cancer screenings—for yourself and those you love. Learn more at cancer.org or talk with your healthcare provider. Early detection saves lives. — Randi Thompson, Public Relations Consultant, Reno 10/10/2025 02:34 PM

Access to fresh, affordable food won’t be at risk with Kroger-Albertsons merger
Initially, I was concerned about the merger.  As Elko continues to grow, the last thing we need is to lose stores that are needed to support our growing population and the thousands of tourists who pass through our town on their way to outdoor adventures. 08/20/2024 12:50 PM

Nevada has about 0.15 pharmacies for every 1000 people, making us one of the most underserved states in the nation. For rural Nevada, the percentage is even lower. 06/22/2024 07:22 PM
