Project Grant H8J54656

This Project Grant award from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) provides $500,000.00 annually for two years to Nevada Health Centers, Inc. to increase access and reduce barriers to high-quality primary care and pharmacy services by extending the hours of operation at their clinic locations within high-needs zip codes in Nevada.

The funding will allow Nevada Health Centers, a federally funded Community Health Center established in 1977, to implement expanded hours for in-person patient visits at their existing clinic sites. This will particularly benefit the organization's patient population, which includes 28.01% uninsured and 46.38% underinsured individuals, as well as the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness in the state. The expanded hours aim to address the need for primary care services in medically underserved areas with low provider-to-patient ratios and higher risk factors for poor health outcomes.
