Nevada Primary Care Association’s Community Health Provider Day at the Nevada State Legislature was an amazing opportunity for health center leaders to advocate for policies that are essential to the health center mission to deliver high quality, integrated care to all Nevadans. 

​

Our FQHC members met with around 27 of 63 offices. Associate members High Sierra AHEC and the LGBT Center of Las Vegas met with even more, and we delivered district-level analysis and advocacy for 340B and Medicaid to every office. More than 50 advocates joined us, with 3 members staffing tables to share their stories with legislative staff and their bosses. 

​

The communities that Nevada's FQHCs serve depend on our dedication to champion the protection of 340B contract pharmacies, the expansion of Primary Care residency and teaching programs, and crucial funding for Community Health Centers. Each of these initiatives plays a vital role in ensuring that every individual in our communities has access to quality health care, regardless of their circumstances. We are grateful for our members' dynamic participation and amplifying the message that access to quality health care is a right, not a privilege.

 

Thank you for joining us in this step for a healthier future for all Nevadans!
