Together we are building a stronger generation of health care centers and safety-net for the future.... holding the vision that health care is a basic right of all people.

Nevada is in the middle of a health care crisis. We have the fourth highest uninsured rate in the country. We are 50th for the estimated per capita expenditures in the Medicaid program & 48th for the rate of physicians in primary care. This means that hundreds of thousands of Nevadans are struggling to find a physician who will see them, or even worse, they are using the Emergency Room as their main source of health care. Fortunately, we now have the tools to address this looming problem; we just need to find a way to fund those tools. Supporting federally qualified health centers, expanding the Medicaid program, and providing incentives for physicians and dentists to practice in Nevada are the most cost-efficient methods to bring high quality health care to Nevada, and we are asking for your help in doing so!

Nevada's 2007 Safety Net Provider Days was held February 13 - 14, 2007
