Consumer Health Assistance
/Programs/CHA/
The health care environment in Nevada and the U.S. is at a crisis point. There is general agreement that the system, whether by means of the new Health Care Reform law, or other mechanisms, must and will change. Consumers require assistance, information and advocacy to personally manage these changes.
Family Resource Centers
/Programs/Grants/Programs/FRC/Family_Resource_Center/
Family Resource Centers (FRCs) were established by legislation in 1995 (NRS 430A). The state is divided into 18 Service Areas with an FRC providing information, referrals, and case management to residents in each Service Area, defined by residential zip code. FRCs collaborate with local and state agencies and organizations to help individuals and families access needed services and support.
