She also serves as a pharmacist at the Downtown Clinic, where she helps meet the medical needs of many people in the Laramie community.

“I get to learn, share and grow with students at Canterbury Fellowship, and I’m so proud of the community we have developed,” Hunter says. “The Downtown Clinic is an amazing place to serve, and I’m grateful to get to be a part of a community of healthcare providers focusing on the health of those with no other access to medical care.”

A University of Wyoming associate professor with the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing recently presented research focused on a newly understood phenomenon affecting cancer patients’ experiences for the Association for Netnographic Research (ANR).

Jennifer Stephens presented her research, titled “Using Netnography in Nursing Research: The Example of Cancer Ghosting,” to the ANR, a registered nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing netnographic research globally.

“Up until our presentation at the Oncology Nursing Society Congress in 2025, oncology nurses and providers were only marginally aware of this phenomenon,” Stephens says. “Our study has helped give a voice to those who have been ghosted and has increased awareness of ghosting in the cancer healthcare provider community.”

The University of Wyoming’s Albany Community Health Clinic (ACHC), part of the Educational Health Center of Wyoming (EHCW) in the College of Health Sciences, recently received certification and recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a patient-centered medical home practice.

All UW-operated healthcare clinics within the EHCW now are recognized as patient-centered medical home practices.

“Earning patient-centered medical home practice recognition reflects our team’s deep commitment to providing high-quality, equitable care,” says Sara Dalton, ACHC clinic director. “We want every patient to leave our clinic feeling heard and empowered with a clear path forward. This designation is more than a title; it’s a promise to continue improving the health and well-being of our entire community.”

A second-year student in the University of Wyoming’s School of Pharmacy has been accepted into the Walgreens Corporate Summer Internship Program as a corporate pharmacy intern.

Paul Baeza, of Gillette, will join a select group of students from pharmacy schools around the country to serve an internship at the Walgreens corporate headquarters in Deerfield, Ill., this summer.

In addition to gaining advanced knowledge of the pharmacy industry, Baeza will support three administrative teams in the corporate office and will join other corporate interns in dialogue sessions, presentations by Walgreens corporate managers, guide several tours and attend networking events.

“I’m extremely honored and very excited to be given this opportunity to expand my knowledge of pharmacy from a systems and administrative perspective and represent the UW School of Pharmacy at a national level,” Baeza says. “In addition to expanding my knowledge, this internship will help me build invaluable connections that I wouldn’t be able to form anywhere else.”
