FEATURED SPEAKERS

• Jack Minshew, Nevada Care Connection’s Outreach and Community Partner Manager, will give an overview of NVCC, which is administered by the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division with the purpose of improving access to services and supports such as Medicare.

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.
