Clark County urges state to fund health services

The Clark County Council adopted a resolution last week calling on the Legislature to maintain funding for public health services through a statewide initiative known as Foundational Public Health Services.

Funding from Foundational Public Health Services supports development of Clark County’s health assessment and health improvement plan, analysis and publishing of public health data, communicable disease case investigation, immunization education and outreach, data modernization, emergency preparedness, chronic disease prevention and built environment initiatives, according to the resolution.
