During the pandemic, the communities of Churchill, Eureka, Mineral, and Pershing Counties, as well as the City of Fallon, agreed to form the Central Nevada Health District to serve the small, dispersed, and diverse populations in rural communities by leveraging existing resources to reduce gaps and expand services.
The State of Nevada Board of Health approved the establishment of the Central Nevada Health District on December 2, 2022. It is the third Health District approved in the State of Nevada,
and the first to serve rural communities.
In July of this year, CNHD implemented services including public health nursing, disease investigation, and prevention, public health preparedness, and environmental health.
CNHD states that they are committed to keeping residents and neighbors well by bringing integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect, and excellence to the region. Throughout the next 12 months, their goal will be to focus on strengthening the services offered and remaining adaptable in meeting rural needs.
