UNR bilingual health services

Getting access to health care can be difficult for some Northern Nevada families, but a partnership at the University of Nevada, Reno is working to make those services easier to find.

Vania Carter-Strauss, director of Latinx Nursing Advocacy and Advancement at UNR's Orvis School of Nursing, and medical student Lexie Diaz joined ARC Reno Thursday morning to discuss free bilingual nursing and behavioral health services. The program offers health screenings, education, medication reviews and referrals while helping break down language barriers and encouraging more representation in health care.

For more information about the program, visit UNR's Orvis School of Nursing or call 775-682-5489.
