COVID-19

Although casinos have re-opened and many Nevadans have gone back to work, COVID-19 and its effects are still very much with us and impact the lives of Nevadans every day. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services along with the Governor’s Office have created a website to specifically address COVID-19. https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/ offers information and resources specifically for Nevadans. Additionally, we offer a few more resources below where you can find commonly requested information on breaking news about the coronavirus, health, food insecurity, and financial assistance.

“The definitive factors in determining whether someone is in good health extend significantly beyond access to care and include the conditions in their life and the conditions of their neighborhoods and communities.”­­ — John Auerbach, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Sustainability programs and healthcare programs have similar goals in that they are both intended to help provide citizens with a long, improved quality of life. Additionally, sustainable societies require robust healthcare programs to meet their goals. For a healthcare program to be successful, it must be affordable, accessible, staffed with sufficient personnel and cover as complete a variety of healthcare problems as possible.
