NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality healthcare services throughout Nevada. Screenings are offered to all women, regardless of their economic status. We accept most major insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare and offer a sliding fee scale for those who are uninsured.
Nevada Health Centers (NVHC) operates the Mammovan, a mobile mammography van that provides women with convenient access to mammography services. The Mammovan began operations in 2000 and was initially made possible by a grant secured by former Congressman John Ensign and former First Lady of Nevada Dema Guinn.
