Why we’re here

Since 1997, Northern Nevada HOPES has been on the front lines of community health, caring for those with the fewest resources and options, many of whom are living in crisis every day.

From our early days as a single-room HIV/AIDS clinic to the 38,000 sq. foot community health center we are today, HOPES continues to serve Northern Nevada’s vulnerable, overlooked, and underserved. Our expansion includes a new 43,000 sq. foot community clinic that will open in summer 2024.

We tackle our community’s hard problems with resolve and compassion — from chronic disease to addiction.

How we work

Our team of providers — including doctors, pharmacists, mental health experts, addiction counselors, and case workers — work under one roof, making access to comprehensive medical, behavioral, and wellness support services possible.

While patients typically come to HOPES seeking medical care, our medical team works closely with on-site case managers to meet all patients’ wellness needs. Over twelve percent of our patients are experiencing homelessness, and many others — including children and seniors — rely on us for far more than medical services. They depend on our case managers to connect them with meals, clothing, shelter, mental health care, addiction recovery support, and other vital services.

Everyone who walks through our doors is greeted with kindness and treated with respect and compassion. We welcome everyone, wherever they are in life, and provide a safe and accepting place to access comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare services.

Our Mission

Northern Nevada HOPES provides affordable, high-quality medical, behavioral health, and support services for all. NNH is dedicated to building a healthier community by providing coordinated care and support for individual and family wellness. Our community health centers combine primary care, pharmacies, medical specialties, behavioral health, and prevention with a team of experienced professionals who are committed to high-quality care. We are dedicated to serving those most often overlooked and underserved by the medical community.
