Because Nevada is the fastest growing state in the country, the population faces many health issues (as do many other states), which are expanding beyond the capability of local resources to address them. That is why health education in Nevada has become a workable factor in providing adequate health safety. The Nevada Public Health Foundation has played a crucial role in Nevada's health issues. NPHF is a nonprofit organization offering services statewide to enhance the health and improve the quality of life of Nevada's population. NPHF offers resources that contribute to public health policy making, education to public health professionals and assistance to citizens in wellness and health maintenance.
