The Clark County Public Health Advisory Council has asked the Board of Health to consider funding YWCA Clark County’s Domestic Violence High Risk Team before it loses state dollars by June 30.

The recommendation to support the high-risk team was supported unanimously by the council, which is composed of 21 unpaid residents who review priority public health needs and make periodic recommendations to the Board of Health.
