What to do if you’re experiencing an emergency
If you are having significant trouble breathing or feel that you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or visit your local hospital emergency room.
What to expect if you visit one of our health centers – safety first!
If you visit one of our health centers and have respiratory symptoms, you may undergo special screening procedures designed to protect you, our patients, and our staff.
This may include being asked to wear a protective mask, being placed in a special waiting area or room, being asked to wait inside your vehicle until your appointment time, or being directed through a special entrance.
Our staff is well trained to practice and enforce proper safety measures, including the following:
- Clinical staff have their temperatures taken regularly, are screened for COVID-19 symptoms, and are cleared to work before coming into our clinics.
- All surfaces in patient rooms are cleaned and disinfected after each visit.
- Staff are wearing facemasks and, as required, other personal protective equipment to ensure your safety — and theirs.
What to do if you have general questions
Please call our toll-free number if you have additional questions: 800.787.2568
Personal protective equipment (PPE) needs for staff
Staff at our health centers have a critical need for N95 respirator masks and other PPE. Our Nevada Health Foundation is joining with our communities to source and collect these items. We are currently accepting donations of type N95 respirator masks in original sealed packaging and will distribute to NVHC clinical staff and other community partners in need. If you are in possession of N95 respirator masks and wish to donate them, please contact one of our Development Team members listed below to coordinate drop off.
