KTNV will air a 30-minute coronavirus information special at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 6, instead of holding the LiveWell Health Fair that was planned for Saturday, March 21. We believe this is in the best interest of our community and is part of KTNV’s commitment to keeping the Las Vegas valley informed on the latest news and information related to the coronavirus.
Nevada Health Centers will participate in the 2nd Live Well Health Fair on March 21 at Boulevard Mall.
WHO WE ARE
Nevada Health Centers (NVHC) is a nonprofit Community Health Center serving the state of Nevada with more than 18 health centers and mobile healthcare services. NVHC was one of the first Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in 1977, as authorized under the Public Health Service Act of 1976. We provide access to quality care throughout frontier, rural and urban areas of Nevada. NVHC is the largest provider of primary care for the uninsured and/or geographically isolated in the state, as well as for those with Medicaid, Medicare or commercial insurance.
WHAT WE WILL PROVIDE
To help in the fight against breast cancer, the Nevada Health Centers Mammovan is a state-of-the-art mobile imaging unit that travels throughout the state of Nevada, providing mammography screening to those in need. Appointments are REQUIRED to be seen at the health fair on March 21.

Mammograms are a preventative screening covered by most health insurance plans. Those with insurance should utilize it as the primary source for billing purposes.

For patients who are NOT covered by insurance, you MAY qualify for a “no cost” screening.
We screen women 40 and older without the need for a referral. Women under the age of 39 and men MUST present a “screening referral” from their primary care physician in order to receive a screening.
