UNLV Health and two Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine medical students were honored by the Nevada Cancer Coalition for their dedication to reducing the burden of cancer for Nevadans. UNLV Health was named Healthcare Partner of the Year, and students Emily Ames and Maggie Sanders (both Medicine) were given Rising Star Awards. Last year, the two students organized a campus-wide sunscreen drive, gathering donations of sunscreen which they donated to Nevada Cancer Coalition for distribution to elementary school students in underserved communities. This year, the pair organized a free skin cancer screening event at YMCA Durango Hills, connecting people without insurance to dermatologists.
