Resource Coordinators will be part of a rapidly developing regional Health Services Hub, a network that includes health promotion, prevention and cost-effective service delivery. Many groups and individuals, working together strategically, are expanding access to dental, medical, vision and behavioral health care and wellness education in rural Lyon and Storey Counties. Parts of the Hub are funded through a federal Safe Schools Healthy Students grant.
