PHIG funding enabled the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Public and Behavioral Health to partner with the Nevada Association of Counties (NACO) to assess county-level public health needs, which informed Nevada’s first-ever $15 million allocation to local public health. Mitch DeValliere, Public Health Infrastructure Manager for the Division, shared how this assessment and funding mechanism empowered counties to direct resources where they were most needed, from conducting public outreach campaigns to using drones to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses. Initially a one-time allocation, this funding may become part of the state budget. This will provide baseline funding for each county, giving them consistent resources to hire staff and address local health priorities in a sustainable way. Importantly, a portion of this funding-at least 10%-will be devoted to assessing and supporting the health needs of Nevada's tribal communities.
