Getting a Flu Shot is a Slam Dunk
Earned paid sick days have widespread benefits including creating healthier communities and helping businesses thrive.
The ABCs of AB123
An immunization-related bill (AB123) was recently introduced in the Assembly Education Committee and we have the ABCs of what this bill is about, why it’s necessary, and how it may impact you.
Top Ten Reasons We’re Thankful!
In our coalition, a diverse, dedicated group of individuals, organizations, and institutions across the state work together to promote health and prevent disease; anytime, anyplace, anywhere. We’re thankful for the commitment they make every day to keep Nevada healthy.
Don’t Throw Away Your (MenB) Shot!
Long story short, my son got his MenB vaccine while on summer vacation. Not exactly on his bucket list of fun things to do, but he did get to relax at the pool; and I got to relax knowing he was on his way to being fully protected against meningococcal disease!
New Graduates are Making Health Happen
Public health is hard, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Congratulations graduates on your achievements – you are making health happen!

Grateful for Team Vaccine
As we head into the season of giving, I encourage you to reach out and see for yourself what makes our team, and the life-saving work we do, so amazing.
Tis the Season for Gratitude and Gridiron
Thanksgiving is full of traditions: dinner with family and college football rivalries. Here in Nevada, are you Wolf Pack Blue or Rebel Red?
Our Team Leads by Example
I get to spend my workdays with a group of smart, dynamic, and amazing public health professionals; who are also the first to roll-up their sleeves to get a flu shot.
Medicaid Helps Prevent Disease
