Boulder City’s Smith honored as pioneer in rural health

Boulder City’s Dr. Warren L. Smith, founder of the Family Doctors of Boulder City, was honored as a pioneer in Nevada rural health several months ago, but wasn’t able to receive his award until Jan. 8. Smith was one of 12 people in the state, and one of only three doctors, honored at Nevada Rural Health Day, according to Jamie T. Anderson, director of rural medical education at the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

Anderson presented Smith with the award for his continuing commitment to “community based medical education for both students and residents” since 1980.

Smith also was given a special coin commemorating Nevada’s 150 years as a state, minted especially for the pioneers of rural medicine.

Anderson expressed her appreciation to Smith and the Family Doctors for nearly 25 years of allowing medical students and residents to be a part of the practice and observe doctors as they see patients on a daily basis.

Elections with love

I was happy to see that Boulder City is going to have an election that provides time for both communicating as well as understanding. It is unresolved until Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Choices for city council should never be ignored or hurried. Our duty as citizens is to objectively apply the best information we have to decide for whom to vote.

Imagine getting ready to sell your house, or worse yet, have a disaster in the home, only to find out an earlier renovation or remodel was not up to code? Modifications can bring a home sale to a grinding halt, or cause problems for insurance reimbursement. If you renovated or remodeled your home or accessory structure without getting a building permit first, here is your opportunity to get in compliance.
