Healthy Communities is comprised of dozens of local, state, federal, and tribal group partners, community volunteers, and staff members, all working together on a shared mission to strengthen communities in the Lyon and Storey regions by increasing access to 1) health care and prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; 2) nutritious food; and 3) sustainable community-based opportunities that serve the common good and strengthen local assets and self-reliance.
