Despite significant investments in healthcare and social services, Nevada continues to face persistent and systemic challenges:

• Fragmented service delivery systems that operate in silos
• Limited access to care in rural and frontier communities
• Workforce shortages, particularly in community-based roles
• Unmet social determinants of health, including housing instability, food insecurity, and transportation barriers
• Low health literacy, leading to poor care adherence and preventable complications
• Disparities in chronic disease, maternal health, and behavioral health outcomes
• High utilization of emergency services for preventable conditions

For many individuals, especially those navigating poverty, justice involvement, recovery, or unstable housing, accessing care is not simply a matter of availability—it is a matter of navigation, trust, and sustained support.

Without coordinated guidance, individuals often:

• Miss appointments
• Fail to follow treatment plans
• Cycle through emergency rooms and hospitals
• Struggle to access basic resources
• Experience worsening health outcomes

These challenges are even more pronounced in Nevada’s rural and frontier counties, where geographic isolation, limited provider networks, and transportation barriers further restrict access to care.

The absence of a coordinated, community-based workforce to bridge these gaps results in:

• preventable illness
• avoidable healthcare costs
• ongoing instability for individuals and families

This is the gap that Harmony Health Integration is designed to fill.
