3rd Place
Congratulations to the Pharmacy team for getting 3rd place at the 2019 National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) conference.

They presented a poster about improving patient outcomes through comprehensive medication management. The poster demonstrated our improvement with A1C and blood sugar reductions for patients who were seen by a collaboration of a pharmacist and their primary care provider.

We are so proud of your accomplishment! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication..

Volunteers Needed
Community Health Alliance is a federally qualified health center providing comprehensive health services to all. The Prescription Food Pantry is a program at CHA that provides free healthy food to patients who are food insecure. The aim of the pantry is to improve food security, provide nutritious foods needed to have a healthy diet and prevent or aid in the treatment of chronic disease.

The pantry is busy as can be! We are continually growing and serving larger numbers of patients. To accommodate the growth and continue to provide this essential resource we are in need of volunteers! We are open Monday-Friday 7am-6pm and are looking for compassionate, motivated students who want to get some experience or want to help the community by volunteering their time.

If you are interested in volunteering please contact Sierra Kelly at sierrak@chanevada.org or call 775-336-3079.
