Ladwana Retic, a clinical social worker, kept seeing her trauma clients unpaid after her Medicaid contract expired—she refused to abandon them, especially since many struggle with abandonment. Nevada Health Authority called it a seasonal delay, promising faster processing and urging providers to apply 90 days early. Her case, like last week’s speech-language pathologist Emily Swogger’s, prompted state action: Governor Lombardo’s office acknowledged the issue and committed to smoother revalidation. The state’s new online system, Provider Flex, is already helping—providers who apply early avoid these painful gaps.

Two siblings who immigrated from Tijuana to Southern Nevada are turning their own struggles into a beacon of hope for immigrant youth. Jose and Bernice Orozco launched their foundation to combat loneliness, language barriers, and isolation through mentorship and community. What began as one workshop has blossomed into a vital support system, fueled by their personal stories of feeling out of place. Jose’s rallying cry: “When we speak up for people, we are the light in that tunnel.” Bernice shares her own journey of navigating translation and alienation — challenges the foundation now helps others avoid. Beyond workshops, they’re raising funds for veterans and cybersecurity training by selling brooches. Their mission? To build bridges, not walls — one young person at a time.

A 45-year-old man allegedly crashed through a police investigation scene on I-11, plowing into a tractor-trailer and then pinning a trooper against a fire engine before fleeing.

Now facing multiple felony charges including involuntary manslaughter, assault with a deadly weapon, and reckless driving, Shirazi’s case is still under investigation as authorities work to piece together the chaos he caused on the highway.
