During the COVID-19 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 establishment of the Central Nevada Health District was approved by the State of Nevada Board of Health on December 2, 2022, in accordance with NRS 439.370. It is the third Health District approved in the State of Nevada, the first to include multiple communities, and the first to serve rural communities.
