2015 Community Health Provider Day Hosted by the Nevada Primary Care Association
Written by: Patrick Chang, MPH, Health Policy & Research Coordinator
On February 11th, 2015, the Nevada Primary Care Association (NVPCA) held their biannual Community Health Provider Day event at the Nevada State Legislature with the aim of educating and sharing with Silver State legislators the value, strength, and importance of Community Health Centers (CHC) and safety-net providers to all Nevadans. CHCs are non-profit, community-directed providers that provide comprehensive primary, mental, and dental care services to underserved communities. Health center staff, providers, board members, and community advocates throughout the state were in attendance.
In 2014, NV's four CHCs served 77,805 patients, where 94% were low-income, 71% were racial or ethnic minorities, and 32% were uninsured - while saving the health care system over $98 million. For more information on CHCs or how to be involved in Community Health Provider Day, please contact NVPCA at 775-887-0417 or visit their website at www.nvpca.org.
