Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health
Our Mission It is the mission of the Division of Public and Behavioral Health to protect, promote, and improve the physical and behavioral health of the people in Nevada.
Our Vision The Division of Public and Behavioral Health is the foundation for improving Nevada's health.
A Note from the Administrator Welcome to the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health's (DPBH) program guide. Our services focus on the health and wellness of those residing or visiting the state. DPBH serves as the state's Public Health Authority and Mental Health Commissioner, on the federal level and supports other agencies in urban and rural/frontier areas through funding and oversight. In addition, the regulatory branch of the agency also provides licensing and certification to most healthcare facilities and food establishments thereby protecting the public's health. Our programs are established in each region by evaluating the needs and available resources and then focusing our efforts on the health-related concerns. We add any funding in support of services, when possible, or where gaps exist, provide access to services offered by our agency.
Our dedicated staff of more than 1,800 employees and contractors, focuses on health and wellness issues as we work as a collaborative partner under the Department of Health and Human Services, (DHHS). DPBH also works closely with other state agencies and stakeholders to fund statewide programs to ensure sustainability and growth at the local level. DPBH writes grants for federal funds that, when successfully-funded, are passed down to local agencies so that services can be provided by local neighbors, friends, and communitymembers based in the areas where Nevadans live. DPBH also provides oversight to the WIC, (Women's Infants and Children's) nutrition program, immunizations, HIV/AIDS, substance use disorder treatment and prevention, chronic and communicable disease programs and public health preparedness as well as others.
