“What happened to our medical school?” That is the only question I asked after Gov. Brian Sandoval’s State of the State speech a couple of weeks ago. I suppose when the governor talks about how we are doing, why we are doing it and what he is going to do next, and the only question is about the UNLV medical school, then it must have been a pretty good speech!

Sitting in a beauty shop in West Las Vegas, Claytee White was on a mission to find stories from the African-American community.

The Las Vegas Valley has a growing population of more than 2 million, yet the only allopathic medical school in the state is 450 miles away in Reno, a city with a population of about 234,000.
