Our mission is to ensure access to quality healthcare throughout Nevada. Established in 1977, NVHC is one of the first federally funded Community Health Centers, authorized under the Public Health Services Act of 1976. As the largest primary care provider for the uninsured, underinsured, and geographically isolated people in Nevada, we operate a network of nineteen health centers, five mobile health programs, and seven Women, Infants, and Children offices. Services: Under the HRSA-25-084: Expanded Hours grant application, NVHC aims to increase access and reduce barriers to high-quality primary care and pharmacy services by extending the hours of operation at our clinics for in-person visits. Needs to be Addressed: NVHC will implement expanded hours for in-person visits at existing clinic sites within high-needs zip codes. High-needs zip codes have high unmet need scores, areas designated as healthcare professional shortage areas in primary care, and medically underserved regions. By targeting these areas, we will address the need for primary care services in locations with low provider-to-patient ratios and for patients with higher risk factors for poor health outcomes. Population Groups to be Served: The expanded hours will significantly benefit our patients, 28.01% of whom are uninsured and 46.38% who are underinsured, receiving Medicaid or Medicare. Additionally, the project will support the increasing number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, which rose by 16% between 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, it will aid the low-to-middle-income population, as 96.13% of NVHC's patients live at or below 200% of the poverty level.
