Southern Nevada Health District

What Southern Nevada Health District does

Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) is a governmental public health agency that has served Clark County, Nevada for over 60 years, providing statutory public health services to approximately 2.4 million residents and 45 million annual visitors. The district operates eight public health centers across Las Vegas, Henderson, East Las Vegas, Laughlin, and Mesquite, delivering immunization services, vital records, food safety certification, environmental health permitting, sexual health and tuberculosis clinical services, and disease surveillance programs.

SNHD's core technology stack comprises public health information systems including the Nevada WebIZ immunization registry and internally developed disease surveillance, contact tracing, mass notification, and health status reporting applications, built under CIO leadership to support outbreak response and routine operations. The agency pairs these systems with physical clinics, an Environmental Health Portal for permits and inspections, and a public Restaurant Inspection Search database.

The district is funded through a combination of Clark County appropriations, state and federal grants, and administrative and service fees, including unit-priced vaccine administration ($22 for first vaccine, $10-$15 for additional), Food Handler Safety Training Card fees ($25 renewal plus $15 late fee, $20 duplicate), and environmental health permits. As a government entity operating under Nevada Revised Statutes, SNHD does not pursue conventional commercial GTM; instead, it uses its website, news releases, public meetings, and social media for community outreach, and operates the affiliated Southern Nevada Community Health Center as a federally qualified health center subsidiary.
