The Central Nevada Health District (CNHD) is the result of four communities seeking opportunities to provide better public health services. First approved in August of 2022, CNHD was developed based on the belief that local communities knew, understood, and could provide services for their populations better than the state could. It came from the belief that through combining the resources and efforts of multiple rural communities, they could increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their services.
These were the ideas behind the CNHD, but there has already been tremendous progress toward its overall goals. Moving forward with the full support of DPBH, the CNHD received waivers for its annual assessment for state services, member communities have developed and implemented a work plan to expedite progress toward the goal of establishing Nevada’s third health district, and local leaders will go in front of the State Board of Health on December 2, 2022, to receive formal approval. Anticipating success in establishing the CNHD, the State of Nevada has already funded and built a satellite location for the State Public Health Lab in Churchill County, one of the four counties in CNHD.
Once approved in December, progress toward establishing CNHD was achieved quickly. The Board held its first meeting on December 8, 2022, and from January through June, 2023, initial steps were taken to fully realize the promise of the district. The Central Nevada Health District began serving the communities in its four counties and one city on July 1, 2023.
