Essential services available from Nevada Health and Human Services

Starting Monday, services will be available online and over the phone

 

Carson City, NV - To support the Governor’s directive to “Stay Home for Nevada” the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has consolidated a list of Department services available to support our citizens.

 

COVID-19 is impacting families, businesses and communities nationwide, but DHHS won’t let it interrupt the important services our state’s residents need now more than ever.

 

“Continuity of services is our number one priority and staff are available to assist,” said DHHS Director Richard Whitley. “The Department of Health and Human Services is ready and able to help Nevadans who may be facing uncertainty at this time and we encourage citizens to visit our websites or call the numbers provided for information on programs and services available throughout the Department.”

DHHS has prepared a list of important services that are available by phone, email or on the web. The Department acts as the state’s social safety net providing medical and food assistance, mental health resources and other programs to support children, seniors and Nevada families.

 

These services, along with the means to access them, can be found at dhhs.nv.gov/essentialservices or by calling 775-684-4000.
