Nevada Pharmacy Board revokes, suspends and fines multiple licensees in June hearings
Summary
Over two days the Board issued revocations, suspensions, probation orders and fines — including immediate revocations for two technicians, a stayed revocation with probation for a pharmacist, and penalties for pharmacies and an outsourcing firm — as part of a packed disciplinary docket.
The Nevada State Board of Pharmacy heard a series of disciplinary matters June 3–4 and issued a range of orders including revocations, stayed revocations with probation, fines and assessments for attorney fees.
Notable outcomes include: Hilco Vision (License WH02862) — $2,500 fine and $1,000 in attorney fees (due July 1, 2026) for distribution of ophthalmic products from a non‑FDA‑registered manufacturer (motion approved); Patricia Sanchez (Certificate PT28814) — revocation for one year and $1,118.15 in fees; Joseph Steidl (Certificate No. 18852) — revocation for one year and $190.95 in fees; Darlene Hess (PT27744) — revocation for one year and $1,268.54 in fees. Pharmacist Jose Escobedo received a stayed revocation and two‑year probation with a $5,000 fine, $1,000 in fees and a requirement to complete four ethics continuing‑education hours. Antonino Gumina was placed on two‑year probation, fined $5,000, assessed $1,000 in fees, and ordered to complete PMP training and a six‑month follow up. For Walgreens Pharmacy #03922 the Board assessed a $2,000 fine and $1,000 in attorney fees and amended the probation conditions for employee Mona Matar (suspension stayed; two‑year probation; $2,000 fine; $1,000 fees).
The Board also resolved a complex matter involving PharMerica and individual employee Camilla Kim: the Board found PharMerica guilty on one count (Count Four) with amendments to the accusation and not guilty on other counts; it assessed fines and allocated attorney‑fee responsibility among the parties. In the Camilla Kim matters the Board approved a stipulation (revocation stayed; probation through June 30, 2028; $1,000 fine; $1,500 fees; professional monitoring and quarterly reports). Across the disciplinary docket motions were typically moved by Board counsel and adopted unanimously or with recorded individual votes where noted.
