Nevada Public Health Foundation aims to build a healthy future for Nevadans through statewide partnerships that address public health needs. Through its community-building efforts, NPHF has helped establish a variety of statewide initiatives such as a jail diversion program in Carson City that has since been expanded to other parts of the State. NPHF has completed many projects for public agencies such as adoption incentive programs, sex trafficking programs, and prevention of infectious diseases. Our staff has the ability to make services and programs available to communities in a rapid, short-term eligibility period by receiving funds and quickly implementing services for the welfare and public health of all Nevadans.
