The Doctor Is All In

Apr. 18, 2016
The credentials and accolades are as impressive as they are lengthy: longtime respected Southern Nevada physician; onetime chief of staff at two local hospitals; former chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission; current chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission; tactical physician for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s SWAT division; first civilian recipient of Metro’s “Medal of Valor”; avid aviator and licensed pilot since the age of 19.
All of this — not to mention a deep affinity for his hometown university — make Dr. Tony Alamo a worthy choice as UNLV’s Alumnus of the Year for 2016.
