4A FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to our seventh annual edition of "Health Care Headliners." It's our look at a few of the local people who have made an important impact on the health care industry. This year, we've again identified 11 areas in health care and acknowledged a pioneer in each. The names came from nominations that we accepted in the months leading up to the section as well as from research by some of our writers and editors. The result: some great stories about some truly outstanding people. Several are doctors, some volunteers plus a few college professors, deans or administrators. These are people who have truly made a great difference in our community. As Southern Nevada grows, so does the impact of health care. The sheer growth locally in the medical field is astounding. Additionally, there are scores of "quick-care" facilities, licensed nursing homes and private psychiatric centers. Educational facilities have also grown by leaps and bounds too. They are educating students and placing them locally. A special thank you to our presenting sponsor this year — WellHealth Quality Care. We appreciate your support and important role in the health care industry. We congratulate each of these honorees for the outstanding work they have done in our community and the impact they are making locally as well as nationally.
