Warm weather in northern Nevada means it’s time for trips to the lake, long hikes and family BBQs. But what do you do when a runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, congestion and other sinus conditions from seasonal allergies get in the way of the summer fun?

Sierra Nevada ENT & Hearing Aid Center Awards Local High School Graduates

CARSON CITY, Nev. (June 19, 2019) – Local high school students, Gabriel Covington and Megan Perry have been awarded the Manoukian and Romaneschi Science Scholarship, a $1,500 scholarship each. The scholarship is awarded annually by doctors at Sierra Nevada Ear, Nose, Throat & Hearing Aid Center to local students for their academic achievement and interest in pursuing higher education in the healthcare field.

We are proud to have awarded a $1,500 scholarship to Sean Dunkelman, a local high school student who is attending the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is interested in pursuing a career in mechanical engineering, with plans to use his technical and entrepreneurial skills to help solve some of the complex problems facing our planet today.

Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell joined our team on Friday, August 24, to celebrate the groundbreaking of our new office, which will house both Sierra Nevada Ear Nose and Throat and Sierra Nevada Hearing Aid Center, in early 2019. We were joined by the general contractor, John Anderson; as well as representatives from HMC Architects and the Nevada State Development Corporation (SNDC).

We’d like to introduce you to Wesley Alexander, our other scholarship recipient for 2017.

The summer of 2017 is turning out to be quite the smoky affair. With a record snowfall last winter — and the resulting vigorous growth of vegetation that serves as fire fuel — northern Nevada and northeastern California have felt like a giant tinder box waiting for a spark.

Kacey Lopes, who graduated from Carson High School in 2017, was awarded a $1,500 scholarship from SNENT, to help her pursue her career in neuroscience.

Ear, nose and throat was the specialty that Erin was interested in, in large part because she helped care for a brother with significant ear issues when she was growing up.

You may not think of an ear, nose and throat surgeon first when you think of plastic surgery, but Dr. Brian Romaneschi could change that.
