Southern Nevada CHIPs

Our Mission

We work to improve the health and happiness of our community by improving health care and social service navigation, providing the RIGHT service, to the RIGHT person, at the RIGHT time.

​

Who We Are

Southern Nevada CHIPs  (Community Health Improvement Program) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency that has taken the lead in providing social services to community members in need.

​

​

Access to and navigation of social and health services can be complicated, challenging, and sometimes overwhelming for the most vulnerable members of our community. When people are in need and don't know where else to turn, they often depend on your first responders by utilizing the 9-1-1 emergency response system, emergency rooms at the hospitals or do nothing at all.  These avenues often times don't allow for their social needs to be appropriately addressed.

​

Here at SNV CHIPs we take an approach that looks at the whole person, any barriers in their environment and offer support, resources and training to help their social determinants of health.  These include but are not limited to safe housing, transportation, education access, employment, access to healthy food,  access to quality healthcare, and behavioral health.

​

We have innovative programming for youth, families, those experiencing homelessness, and older adults aging in place.
