Southern Nevada Family Planning Telehealth Program - The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD), dba Southern Nevada Community Health Center (SNCHC), located in Las Vegas, Clark County (in the southernmost section of the State of Nevada known as Southern Nevada) will provide Title X services in Southern Nevada (specifically Clark, Nye, and Lincoln counties). SNCHC’s family planning services include: • Birth Control Methods: the Depo shot, oral contraception, condoms, spermicides, hormonal implants, copper and hormonal intrauterine devices, emergency contraception (Plan B), and fertility awareness-based methods including the lactational amenorrhea (LAM) method. • STD Testing, Treatment and Vaccines: chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, hepatitis B screening, hepatitis B vaccine, hepatitis C testing, and HIV screening and testing. • Screening Services: intimate partner violence, alcohol and other drug use, tobacco use, immunizations, BMI, blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. • Pregnancy Services: pregnancy testing and counseling, folic acid supplementation, achieving pregnancy, and basic infertility. • Cancer Screenings and Prevention: cervical, breast, and testicular cancer screenings, and the HPV Vaccine for both men and women. • Basic Ultrasound Services: IUD string placement, basic pelvic anatomy, breast lump evaluation. To expand the availability of these services, SNCHC will open and operate six static sites where patients can access telehealth services. Equipment and supplies to deliver telehealth services at these sites will be purchased. Two staff (a Community Health Nurse and a Medical Assistant) will be hired to champion this project. Telehealth and eCW training will be provided to ensure that FP staff are delivering high-quality, client centered care. Outreach will ensure that residents in need of publicly funded family planning services are aware of the telehealth services and how to schedule an appointment.
