Community healthcare takes a community effort, and to help provide the right framework to support Nevada Health Centers’ growth and expansion, it has announced the launch of Nevada Health Foundation.
Nevada Health Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, under the operational umbrella of Nevada Health Centers, with the primary purpose of raising funds to help advance Nevada Health Centers’ mission to provide quality care in communities across Nevada.
Nevada Health Centers has been serving Nevadans since 1977. It has grown from a small health clinic in a frontier community to the growing network of 18 health centers; seven Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offices; two mobile health programs – the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile and the NVHC Mammovan; and a Visiting Nurse Program in Lockwood that it operates today.
Each year Nevada Health Centers care for more than 47,000 men, women, and children, promoting health and hope through a variety of clinical services that include family medicine, pediatrics, dentistry, behavioral health, and pharmacy. As NHC looks to the future and as we expand to new communities, we envision an evolving system of care — one that continues to embrace the latest resources, technologies, and clinical talent to help our patients prosper and thrive.
NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality healthcare services throughout Nevada. We accept most insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare and offer sliding fee scale for uninsured patients.
