Southern Nevada Health District meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Health district agendas: new clinic site in 89103, 2027 benefit rates, board appointments

Southern Nevada Health District boards listed a proposed new clinic site, 2027 medical and dental benefit rates and a round of board appointments on agendas for meetings held Oct. 12 through Oct. 22. Minutes for those meetings have not yet been published, so the records available do not show what was decided, whether any item passed, or any vote tally.

New clinic site proposed in 89103 zip code

The Southern Nevada Community Health Center Governing Board met Oct. 20 with a proposed change in scope to add a new clinic site in the 89103 zip code on its agenda. The same agenda listed the August 2026 Year to Date Financial Report recommendations, the CEO Fiscal Year 2026 Evaluation Results and Fiscal Year 2027 Goals, and updates to two policies: the Behavioral Health Crisis Event and Security Communication Policy (CHCA-005) and the After Hours Coverage Policy (CHCA-023). The agenda summary does not state a location, cost or timeline for the proposed clinic site.

The Chief Executive Officer Annual Review Committee met Oct. 15 on the summary of CEO evaluation results, CEO Fiscal Year 2027 goals, and the annual review process and evaluation tools.

SNHD roundup: recycling center permit comment window, proposed 89103 clinic and 2027 benefit rates

The Southern Nevada Health District's public records for the past two weeks contain no recorded votes or decisions.

Procedural notices

Notices for the Medical Advisory Board, the Education Committee and the Drug/Device/Protocol Committee, all dated October 7, 2026, contain only procedural information — public notice under NRS 241.020, minutes and video availability, and the contact number (702) 759-1000 — with no agenda items listed. One entry dated October 7 describes an HIV Prevention Planning Group meeting with two informational PrEP presentations, but its agenda text gives the meeting date as July 15, 2026.

Health district roundup: recycling center permit workshop, lab expansion bid, board schedule review

The Southern Nevada Health District's recent public records contain no recorded decisions. Most items from the past two weeks are meeting notices whose minutes have not yet been published, and the supplied records do not state outcomes for them. The most concrete item is a public workshop on a proposed recycling center permit.

Recycling center permit workshop

A public workshop was scheduled for October 7, 2026, to consider an application for a permit to operate a recycling center by Phoenix Group Metals at 413 Max Ct., Henderson, NV (APN 178-01-413-003). The workshop is part of the solid waste management permit process. Written public comments will be accepted for 30 days after the notice is published. The supplied records do not state a result.

Lab expansion inspection services out for bid

A district public notice page dated October 8, 2026 lists RFP 27RFP001 for third-party inspection services tied to SNHD's lab expansion, with proposals due 10/29/2026. Other solicitations on the page include RFP 27RFP002 for website redesign (proposals due 08/24/2026) and RFP 26RFP004 for PFAS sample analysis of private wells, limited to NDEP-certified labs (proposals due 04/20/2026). The page also lists a proposed ISDS operating permit fee of $226 per 5-year permit cycle, for which a workshop was held 07/23/2025. Some items on the page are marked canceled or postponed; the records do not identify which ones.

Advisory board agenda: 2027 schedule and health updates

The Public Health Advisory Board was scheduled to meet October 12, 2026 to consider approval of the 2027 meeting schedule. The board was also set to receive updates on the CredibleMind platform, the respiratory season, and back-to-school vaccinations, and to consider approval of minutes from a July 13, 2026 meeting. No results appear in the supplied records.

PrEP presentations to HIV prevention group

An agenda for the Southern Nevada HIV Prevention Planning Group lists two informational presentations: "HIV PrEP Choices" by Dr. Samantha Strong PharmD, BCACP, AAHIVP, CDCES (Gilead), and "Update on PrEP and Pharmacies Initiative" by Dr. Christina Madison. The agenda lists no action items, contracts, or dollar amounts. The record is dated October 7, 2026 in the meeting list, but the agenda text says the group meets July 15, 2026, 2:00-4:00 PM at the SNHD Lone Mountain Conference Room, 280 S. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas, with a virtual option via Microsoft Teams. The supplied records do not resolve that discrepancy.

Committee notices without detailed agendas

Three October 7, 2026 notices — for the Medical Advisory Board, the Education Committee, and the Drug/Device/Protocol Committee — contain only procedural information about public meeting notices under NRS 241.020, minutes, and video availability. No agenda items, decisions, or discussion topics are listed. The Education Committee and Drug/Device/Protocol Committee notices list a contact number, (702) 759-1000.

Coming up

• **October 15, 2026:** Chief Executive Officer Annual Review Committee. The committee will discuss the CEO's evaluation results and goals for Fiscal Year 2027, and may approve recommendations to be sent to the Governing Board on October 20, 2026.

Health District boards hold agenda meetings; no decisions published
