Las Vegas hospital Nevada's first with 2 cutting-edge treatments
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — MountainView Hospital is making history as the first hospital in Nevada to perform both CAR T-cell therapy and allogeneic stem cell transplants, two cutting-edge treatments that can be lifesaving for patients battling blood cancers and other serious disorders. CAR T-cell therapy involves turning a patient's own cells into powerful weapons against their disease, while allogeneic stem cell transplant uses healthy donor cells to aid in recovery. These highly complex and sophisticated therapies have become a crucial tool in extending and, in many cases, saving the lives of patients with hard-to-treat disorders. 'There are two therapies. One is allogeneic stem cell transplant, which allows us to provide stem cells from other donors to patients who have a need for that. We are also bringing CAR T therapy which uses the patient's own cells,' said Dr. Carolyn Mulroney, medical director of the Sarah Cannon transplant and the CAR T-cell therapy program. Usually, many patients and their families have been forced to travel out of state to access these advanced treatments, adding financial stress and uncertainty during a difficult time. Now, thanks to MountainView's Sarah Cannon Transplant & Cellular Therapy Program, these lifesaving options are available close to home, supported by a team of multidisciplinary experts. This significant breakthrough comes just ahead of the grand opening for MountainView's first-of-its-kind 12,000-square-foot Day Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide convenient, patient-centric care under one roof. The new Day Hospital will enable patients to undergo extensive treatments while retaining their routines and staying connected with their support networks. 'In an outpatient setting like this, it allows the patient to go home at the end of the day, sleep in their own bed, and be with their family,' Maria Rios, administrative director at MountainView Hospital, said. This marks a major step forward in health care for Nevada, ensuring that patients battling some of the most aggressive blood disorders can find hope without having to leave their community.

The telecom sector has seen many ups and downs in the past few years. Post-COVID, these stocks declined even more due to the inflation wave and the subsequent interest rate hikes. Telecommunication companies usually have significant debt on their balance sheets due to infrastructure CapEx, and they were among the hardest hit. However, rates are now slowly coming down, and these stocks are also starting to bottom out and turn a corner. Many telecom stocks are still profitable and pay dividends. Falling bond yields are making them even more attractive. It's a good idea to keep tabs on which telecom stocks are spearheading the gains so far this year.
