Nevada Health Centers Receive 11.2 Million in Stimulus Funds to Build Health Centers in Carson City and Las Vegas
Nevada Health Centers, Inc. (NVHC) received $11.2 million dollars for the construction of two new health facilities; one in Carson City and the other in Las Vegas.
The two new health centers will bring construction jobs to both Carson City and Las Vegas. Both cities have been hard hit by the recession and the jobs will provide some much needed relief. The facilities will be two stories with administrative offices on the upper floor and health services on the lower floor.
In Carson City, Sierra Family Health Center (SFHC) will occupy the lower floor and will provide Family Practice medicine. SFHC has six providers and is considered a medical home for upwards of 6,500 patients.
The Las Vegas Facility will house Nevada Health Centers OB/GYN Center which is one of the few places in Clark County where uninsured pregnant patients can receive OB services on a reduced scale based on their income. Presently there are six OB/GYN physicians working with the OB/GYN program in Las Vegas and the need for these services continues to grow. Both facilities will be able to serve more patients with the expanded space. Parcels of land have been selected but funding to purchase the land is still needed.
Healthcare bill, if passed will create millions of jobs because facilities like this will have to be built across the country and staffed. Working people earn money and buy products and services, pay taxes that will create more jobs and fix the broken economy.
